The Battle of Stirling Bridge, fought on September 11, 1297, was a pivotal confrontation during the Wars of Scottish Independence.

Scottish forces led by William Wallace and Andrew Moray faced off against the English army commanded by John de Warenne and Hugh de Cressingham near Stirling, Scotland.

Taking advantage of the narrowness of the bridge, the Scots waited until half the English troops had crossed, then launched a surprise attack, cutting off and defeating the advanced English force.

The remaining English forces, trapped on the other side, retreated. The Scottish victory boosted morale and Wallace was later appointed Guardian of Scotland.
