		Edward I defeated Wallace at Falkirk in July 1298, and Wallace was replaced as Guardian by Robert Bruce, Earl of Carrick, and John Comyn of Badenoch.
		By 1305, Scotland was described as a land and not a realm by Edward I, suggesting his intention of placing it under direct English rule.
		Bruce hid from the English in the Western Isles of Scotland during the winter of 1306-7, when he was famously inspired by a spider to attempt a further recovery of the throne.

	Sir William Wallace
		He agreed with the guardians that Margaret should marry his son and heir Edward of Caernarvon (afterwards Edward II of England), on the understanding that Scotland would be preserved as a separate nation.
		Scotland was essentially occupied by the English at this time, and was beset by its own internal conflicts.
		Although most of Scotland was in Scottish hands by August 1297, Wallace successfully recruited a band of commoners and small landowners to attack the remaining English garrisons between the Rivers Forth and Tay.

		Mary Ellmers, of the charity Alcohol Focus Scotland, welcomed the report but said it was crucial that any laws were enforced and that Scots recognised they had to alter their thinking on alcohol.

		When, after years of struggle, Scotland was reduced to a vassal state by Edward I of England it was Bruce who, supported by the Scottish Church and a group of devoted followers, had himself crowned at Scone as King of Scots and renewed the fight for freedom.
		...Scotland is, quite simply, a wonderfully rewarding and diverse country to visit, encompassing everything from the rolling countryside of the Borders to the wild and weather-beaten islands that arc around its west and north coasts...with remote lochs, glens and Highland mountains lying less than two hours' travel from Edinburgh and Glasgow.

	Scotland's Past - William Wallace (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		To their critics the Douglases were a force for disorder in the kingdom, lawless, arrogant and violent, whose power rested on coercion and whose defiance of kings and guardians ultimately provoked James II into slaying the Douglas earl with his own hand.
		The Scotland of Wallace and Bruce nearly succumbed, having wrestled with contradictory desires for independence, and for stability and united government, for nearly a decade.
		She shows how the kingdom of Scotland was able to marshal its resources and create a coherent and cohesive national front to deal with a more powerful enemy, illustrating the complicated and conflicting needs of a medieval society in the face of a developing national consciousness.

		Williams, who last season led Scotland to the wooden spoon and still does not have a Six Nations win, added: "That was a magnificent performance and one that, in my opinion, deserved victory.
		However, lose they did because, down to 14 men, Scotland were pushed around at two scrums before Hugo Southwell, playing his first international at centre, failed to get a kick away and Damien Traille caught the ricochet to score and lift French hearts for about the only time.

		Humbled and humiliated, the visitors' heady expectation after their first-leg victory was drowned in a cauldron of oranje to ensure that Holland, strutting where they had briefly stuttered, secured passage to Portugal.
		This was a wonderfully fluid Dutch line-up, revelling in the freedom their formation granted and liberated from the restrictive system favoured by Advocaat in Glasgow.
		Heaping misery upon misery, Sneijder's corner was eased beyond the Celtic goalkeeper at the near post by Frank de Boer and, with all semblance of defensive organisation long since evaporated, Van Nistelrooy sidefooted home the sixth Andy van der Meyde's centre.

		It was a key place in Scottish History because it was the key to controlling the whole of Scotland as it controlled the gateway to the Highlands.
		Unfortunately due to the commonness of their outfit (in spite of the small Scottish symbols most had on it), friendly fire was never a stranger on the battlefield.

		Having killed the English sheriff of Lanark, Wallace waged guerrilla warfare against Edward I's occupying army and on 11 September 1297 joined forces with Sir Andrew Moray to rout the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge.
		From there, he and Murray wrote to the merchants of Lübeck and Hanover, inviting them to trade once more, 'because the kingdom of Scotland, thanks be to God, is recovered by war from the power of the English'.
		Wallace was knighted and acted as Guardian of the realm in the name of John Balliol, but he lacked the support of the noblemen and Edward I continued to wage war implacably against the Scots.

		He planned to divide the country into military areas in which rolls would be maintained of all men between 16 and 60 capable of carrying arms.
