To mark the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn in 2014, the Battle of Bannockburn Family History Project will throw light on the participants in the Battle from a genealogical point of view.

The results of research by students on the Postgraduate Diploma Course in Genealogical Studies on a number of the participants will be displayed in an exhibition hosted by the National Trust for Scotland in the new Bannockburn Heritage Centre, from Saturday 21 June to Saturday 2 August 2014. This will feature biographical information and coats of arms of a number of participants and genealogies of their families. In addition, the exhibition will present the results of a genetic genealogy project aimed at tracing living descendants of some of the participants in the Battle.
