Thousands of Scottish independence supporters have marched from Stirling to Bannockburn.

About 8,000 people took part in Saturday’s march to the site where Robert the Bruce claimed victory over Edwards II’s English army in 1314.

The event, organised by the pro-independence group All Under One Banner, followed several large marches in Glasgow and Dumfries this year.

The pro-independence marchers walked the two miles from King’s Park in Stirling to Bannockburn.

More events are planned in Dundee and Edinburgh later in 2018.

Saturday’s All Under One Banner event came the same day as tens of thousands of pro-EU supporters took to the streets of London to demand a second referendum on the terms of Brexit on the second anniversary of the leave vote.
