Over the two days of battle, Edward\u2019s army was repeatedly thwarted by the Scots stubborn resistance before finally finding themselves trapped by the surrounding terrain with no room to maneuver their huge force. The result was an unprecedented rout of King Edward\u2019s army. Robert the Bruce\u2019s victory, and the morale boost that spread throughout Scotland eventually led to an independent Scotland in 1328.<\/p>\n<p>A visitor center has been set up for those wanting to learn more about this battle (located 45 minutes west of Edinburgh).
