Scottish battles were significant conflicts that shaped the history of Scotland, particularly during the Middle Ages. Notable battles include the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, where Robert the Bruce led the Scots to victory against the English, and the Battle of Culloden in 1746, which marked the end of the Jacobite uprising. These battles often involved struggles for independence and power, reflecting the turbulent political landscape of the time. The outcomes of these conflicts influenced Scotland's relationship with England and contributed to the development of Scottish national identity.
