Battle of Bannockburn: Scotland Defeats England, Bruce's Greatest Victory
Robert the Bruce's Scottish army routed a much larger English force at Bannockburn, using superior terrain selection and disciplined schiltron formations to neutralize English cavalry and archers. The decisive victory secured Scottish independence for the next three centuries and elevated Bruce from rebel king to the national hero whose legacy defines Scottish identity.
