On the 23rd June 2012, members of the Society of William Wallace, the Knights Templar, Siol nan Gaidheal and Na Fir Dileas marched from the Heritage Centre to the Bannockburn Rotunda. Unfortunately, due to an impatient car driver last year, the Society took the decision not to march from the 1314 pub as we didn't want a repeat of last years events. We were also informed that we couldn't march if anyone had any intent to bear arms. This was quickly sorted out by some sterling work by Vice Convenor Gary and society member Tom Chalmers. Hopefully something more suitable can be sorted out for next years commemoration.

At the rotunda, Ken Shira, Gary Stewart & Duncan Fenton gave some brief speeches explaining why we were there. Wreaths were then laid and a piper played the lament. Attendance was low this year but hopefully everyone can get together and make next years event one to be proud of and show the respect that Robert the Bruce and his fallen comrades deserve!!

Later on it was time to celebrate Bannockburn ceilidh style!! Ted Christopher opened up the evening event by welcoming everyone and saying a few words about the battle itself, he then went on to entertain us all as only Ted can. We also had the pleasure of having Gaberlunzie play for us and Clanadonia dropped by to give us a few tunes outlaw style. All in all a great night, as always our thanks to everyone who attended both events, it was great seeing you all, hope we can all do it again next year!
