My one quibble is that at Bannockburn, Robert Bruce was notoriously wielding an ax, and not a sword. It is legend how he was charged by the English knight Henry de Bohun, and how he sidestepped Sir Henry's lance and caved his head in with his ax.

The battle of Bannock Burn was fought over two days so the Bruce must have used multiple weapons. It stands to reason. Yes, he did not run from de Bohun but defeated his better-equipped opponent and yes it broke his axe.

Robert the Bruce was Norman-French, as were most of his commanders and most of his knights. A great many (if not the majority) of his troops would have been from the Lowlands where English was the majority language and most of the people there were Anglo-Saxon of origin. Although, some of his captains and soldiers would've been Highlanders. So, you're technically sort of right - a fraction of the men at Bannockburn would have been 'Pure Celtic warriors'.

@@lordbaltimore99 Lowlanders (those south of the Forth anyway) are about as Celtic as Cumbrians, Devonians, and other folks living along the furthest reaches of Anglo-Saxon settlement. Genetically they have a lot of Brythonic in addition to their Anglo-Saxon, but in most other ways they were almost entirely Anglo-Saxon. The eastern coast of Lothian had been settled by the Northumbrian Angles well before most of the west of what is now England had come under Saxon control, and the extent of their settlement is evident in the placenames of the area (Jedburgh, Coldingham, Roxburgh, Berwickshire, Edinburgh, the list goes on). Even during the reign of David I, the folks of Lothian (which encompassed a much larger area than it does now) were referred to as his 'English subjects'. The clan system in the Lowlands was different from that in the Highlands, and was much similar in nature to that of England, with many pre-Norman families having close relations on both sides of the border. And I said they spoke English because, while I'd argue Scots is indeed a language in its own right, it hadn't diverged from Northern dialects of English by that point, at least not to an extent which would validate it being a separate tongue. After all, the speakers thereof referred to their speech, and that of the people south of the border as 'Inglis'.

@@lordbaltimore99 I think it's also worth saying that the Picts hadn't settled south of the Forth. At least not in any numbers that would've made them a majority. The local Celts were Cumbric Welsh, and spoke a language that was indistinguishable from their kinsmen in the south. The Medieval Welsh even referred to southern Scotland and northern England as 'Hen Ogledd' (the Old North). The only real difference between much of the Lowlands, and most of England is that the former became a part of Scotland at some point. They were settled by the Saxons in comparative numbers, were under Saxon control for a comparable amount of time, and were culturally and linguistically identical for much of their history.

I am not of any Scottish ancestry. But, I do think that in a past lifetime, I was one of the Scottish warriors at the Battle of Bannockburn, in the year 1314 A.D. under Robert the Bruce, King of Scots. One thing is certain if I was one of the Scottish warriors at the Battle of Bannockburn in a past lifetime, I would not have worn a kilt, or even knew what a kilt is. This is because the Scots did not wear kilts until the late 1600's. I probably would have worn the pre-kilt belted plaid in that past lifetime, instead. Even though I am not of any Scottish ancestry, I do have these very deep and affectionate feelings for Scotland.

"Please know Scottish history before you open your mouth on comments." That's so ironic because you need to know yours, the Normans heavily settled Scotland, independent from England. Robert the Bruce's family origin was Norman, like many Scottish Nobles. The south east of Scotland had a good amount of Anglo-Saxon blood as it was part of the Kingdom of Northumbria, and briefly was part of a united England when England became a united country before it was annexed by Scotland.

Orkneys were still ruled in this time period by the King of Norway. The people who lived there spoke Norn (a language like Icelandic) until the early 19th century. The highlands were celtic, and then the lowlands were saxon and this is where the language Scots comes from. Scots is more saxon than modern english. Scotland formed as a confederation of the Norse, Saxons, Celts, Picts and Norman overlords.
