It was william wallace and Andrew Murray who led the battle of stirling bridge, which wasnt fought in an open field as Braveheart would have you beleive, you know, when he does his "you may take our lives but youll never take our freedom speech"....

Wallace and Murray waited on a place called abby craig while the english army crossed the bridge, then when half the army was over, they attacked, slaughtered the english on their side of the bridge, and then the english on the other side couldnt aid their soldiers as the bridge was packed with corpses, many drowned in the river trying to flee the scots. That was wallaces first victory in battle, murray was killed though. The Wallace Monument was built on abby craig.

Robert the bruce led the battle of bannockburn, which is near stirling....
He was half scottish half irish in regards to his parents, but there is norman, viking etc etc in him if you want to go back a little further. he was born in scotland though, so that makes him scottish.
