King Robert the Bruce

Dunblane Bridge The first bridge across the river at Dunblane was built about 1410. Previously, the river was forded fifty yards upstream from here. This was an important river crossing on the main road north from Stirling. The ford was used by the armies of Wallace and Bruce before the Battles of Stirling Bridge and Bannockburn in 1297 and 1314.
