Best Answer

Near the end of the battle, many English had been killed and the remaining army were fearful of the powerful Scots. The fact that the small army of Scots were winning against their large army made them afraid, and although they still had a good chance of winning the battle, the English scattered. Some drowned, and others were killed by the Scots.

The were two battles of Falkirk, one in 1298 between Scottish forces and the English army, which was won by England and the other in 1746 which was a Jacobite victory over the Hanoverian British army.

So in conclusion neither of the battles was won by a Scottish force. The battle in 1746 had many Scots on both sides.
