Best Answer

The city of Stirling is rich with legends and events crucial to Scottland's history. William Wallace won the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297 against the occupying English army, while Robert the Bruce defeated another English army there in 1314, securing Scottish independence. In the 12th century, it was granted a Royal Charter, becoming one of the most important towns in Medieval Scottland. It controlled the lowest crossing point of River Forth, making it impassable for armies. It was the ancient "Royal Capital".
