Donington: Paul Watkins Publishing, 2016. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A fine new copy. 254pp + colour illustrations. This is an important collection of essays from a conference held to celebrate and review the battle at which Scottish independence was asserted in 1314, and its place in Scottish culture and historiography. Robert Burns immortalised the battle as a victory over tyranny with his 'Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled' poem.

The authors are Michael Penman, David H. Caldwell, Andrew Ayton, David Simpkin, Tony Pollard, Alasdair Ross, Richard Tipping, Peter Yeoman, Sarah Tolmie, John Morrison, Andrew P. K.
