ABSTRACT
Before the sun rose, every brave Scot within a few hours march of Stirling, were assembled on the carse; and Lord Andrew Murray with his veteran Clydesdale men, was already resting on his arms in view of the city walls. The messengers of Wallace hastened with the speed of the winds, east and west; and the noon of the day saw him at the head of 30,000 men, determined to fight or to die for their country.
