Sculptor Malcolm Robertson Chosen To Commemorate Scottish Heroes of The Battle of Stirling Bridge

In September 1297, the forces of William Wallace and  Andrew de Moray defeated a much larger English force at the Battle of Stirling Bridge. Now leading public artist Malcolm Robertson has been chosen to develop a major artwork at the site of the historic Battle. The site lies directly beside Old Stirling Bridge, which was built in the early 16th century and replaced the old wooden bridge which gave the battle its name.

Malcolm Robertson’s proposed design, a four-metre high installation called Brothers In Arms, shows the battle’s two heroes, William Wallace and Andrew de Moray, shoulder to shoulder, with their arms aloft raising an eight-metre high Scottish flag. This marks a significant milestone for The Guardians of Scotland Trust  who have mounted an ongoing fundraising campaign and which was set up in 2011 to educate the public about William Wallace and Andrew de Moray as co-commanders at the Battle of Stirling Bridge.
