190 BATTLES IN SCOTLAND
The following is a list of battles in Scotland. Some have the date of the battle, place of the battle, and
some have info on who verses who. Those with no ‘who verses who’ info gives you the reader, the chance to research them and find their history.
I am sure there were many other battles recorded and not recorded, but this seems to be enough for now.
