Stirling will also host a series of other events over the same weekend, including Pipefest and the national Armed Forces Day, as part of the year of Homecoming Scotland.

Homecoming director Caroline Packman said: “With just over a week to go until this amazing weekend of events in Stirling, the teams for Pipefest, Armed Forces Day National Event and Bannockburn Live are working feverishly to ensure it will be an experience to remember for the thousands of people planned to descend on the city over three days.

“We are thrilled with the Bannockburn Live programme and looking forward to this fantastic event to mark 700 years since the legendary battle.”

Headline events at Bannockburn Live include the award-winning singer-songwriters Dougie Maclean and Julie Fowlis, as well as lifelike battle performances.

Events run from 10am to 7pm each day, and include a range of activities from panel discussions to children’s puppet shows.
