Bannockburn Battlefield Tour
Overview

Mobile ticket
My dog Molly and I were amazed at the number of tourists who arrived at the Battlefield, spent less than 10 minutes at the site of Scotland's greatest battle, then departed Bannockburn.
Molly taught me to welcome visitors, give a warm hug, and say thank you for taking the time to remember our great heroes such as Robert the Bruce and James Douglas, and all those who fought, died, and survived at Bannockburn.
Our outdoor tour on the Battlefield, covers the Wars of Independence, the Battle, and the aftermath up to the current day. We shall entertain you with stories of the main characters and the small folk who influenced the battle.
We also do a Stirling Bridge tour, the scene of William Wallace’s greatest victory.
Freedom Tour Today is the perfect way to welcome visitors and learn more about why so many people hold Scotland and our history, dear to their hearts.
Sadly Molly passed away on the 15th of February 2024 with her Mum & Dad by her side. We miss her so much <3

Fascinating tour of Bannockburn Battlefield with a Knowledgeable and Passionate Guide

5.00I met my tour guide Steve at the Visitors Center for Bannockburn Battlefield. Steve and I started walking the battlefield site and I immediately realized that Steve is one of the most knowledgeable, interesting and passionate guides I have had, and I've been on many tours. We walked around and I learned so much not only about the battle, but also about the history of Scotland. I highly recommend this tour as it unveils the battle from start to end and everything around it. Steve is engaging and ignites your imagination.
A must-do for history lovers!

5.00Stephen was an exceptional tour guide - he took the time out to explain the lead up to the battle and how events unfolded from that point on. Nothing was too much in terms of the time that Stephen spent with us and the questions we asked - we would suggest that his knowledge was second to know and would highly recommend him.

5.00A few days ago I took the Bannockburn Battlefield tour by Freedom Tours Today. Steven was my guide. He was great actually better than great. Steven is very passionate about the tours and ensuring that his clients get the full experience of the battle. He explains in detail the history and what the motivation was on both sides, what the leaders were thinking and planning, what strategies they used and what worked and what didn’t. Also tied it up with how the English commander at Stirling Castle was involved. Steven made this a fabulous experience and I highly recommend that tourists should go there after they visit Stirling Castle to really appreciate the history.
Great education of this battle

5.00We were a group of six friends who had previously done the Braveheart tour which encouraged us to go back and do the Bannockburn tout. We had had such a good experience on the first tour to Stirling Bridge that we looked forward to this second tour. Not the least of the reasons for doing this tour was that our guide on both the tours, Steven, was infectiously enthusiastic about the battle, but was also extremely informative. A couple of us were well up on the history, but most of us knew just a few basic facts. Steven told us all a lot of things new to us and so we all ended very well informed of this turning point in Scottish history, and it made a big difference that we could see ground on which the battle took place and were able to understand the importance of the terrain to the outcome of the events. The meeting point was the Bannockburn Centre which has a free car park and also a nice café serving very nice home-made food. There is not a lot of walking and the tour should be accessible to almost all levels of mobility. This tour was well worth going on.
SMASHING TOUR!

5.00Wonderful! Such emotion going around the battlefield with Steven who was very informative and amusing. Loved every minute. It was my husband's birthday and he discovered with pleasure that it was also the birthday of King Robert the Bruce as well on the same day. We thoroughly recommend a tour with Steven which was a great experience.
