Archaeologists have uncovered more than 300 artefacts during a four-day dig at a sunken causeway in Stirling, searching for the route used by William Wallace to the Battle of Stirling Bridge.
The discovery, described as “very unexpected,” took place within an 18th-century estate and coincided with the battle’s anniversary. Finds include objects that provide insight into medieval life and Wallace’s military movements.
The domed brick drum on the north bank of the Clyde, opposite the Radisson RED at the SEC campus, is to open again in May 2027 as The Rotunda and Roundhouse.
