The Battle of Bannockburn, a historically significant battle tied to Scotland's independence, is at risk of being irreversibly transformed due to a planning application for a trotting track on an area opposite the visitor centre (officially recognised in 2012 as part of the battlefield site).  This battle fought in 1314 was a pivotal moment in Scotland's history and is deeply intertwined with the country's cultural heritage. The preservation of this site (opposite the visitor centre) is not just about maintaining a piece of land; it's about cherishing our shared identity and pride as Scots. 

By allowing this site to be developed, we risk losing an integral part of our heritage to progress, which in turn can have impacts beyond just the physical. According to a study by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, when historic sites are destroyed, there are negative impacts on local culture, economy, and education.

Thus, we need your assistance in urging our local and national government to reject this planning application and place greater emphasis on preserving our shared history. This is not just about the Battle of Bannockburn site, but about setting a precedent for how we treat all our historical sites. Show your commitment to Scotland's rich history and sign our petition to protect the Battle of Bannockburn site from development.
