In this view, the River Forth is seen from Image Although that bridge is centuries old, it did not exist in 1297 when the Battle of Stirling Bridge took place. The bridge that then existed was only a few metres upriver, in the area shown in the foreground of the present picture. Remains of bridge piers have indeed been found there: see https://canmore.org.uk/site/46113 (at Canmore) for further comments.
