An event mentioned in this article is a September 11 selected anniversary.

The summary box for this battle lists a different commander (I believe the leader of the English force that crossed the bridge) not John de Warrene. John de Warrene is listed as the commander in the article, proper. --Trithemius 02:10, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)

This article is quite poor given the importance of the battle for Scottish History. - Colin MacDonald

[edit] More Battle less Movie.

In complete agreement with the above comment I've now expanded this article to give a much fuller account of the Battle of Stirling Bridge, its course, its outcome and its historical significance. Rcpaterson 04:02, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citation?

"Wallace himself took enough to make a new sword belt."

This sounds quite apocryphal. What's the source?

According to the Hugh Cressingham article, this seems to be a legend of sorts with Cressingham's flaying of Scotland and its people being repaid with his actual flaying and death. So then did this really happen? Or is it just a popular legend surrounding the battle? 128.255.188.63 01:55, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
