P5/6 went on a 5 mile hillwalk today to visit the Site of the Battle of Glentrool which they have been researching in class. We started at Bruce’s Stone with a wonderful view over Loch Trool to the site of the battle. We think Robert the Bruce may have stood in this spot to give a signal to start the Battle!
Later on we had a go at setting up an ambush and also found hidden English army gold – lucky for us it was chocolate and had survived 800 years and was good enough to eat!

Please check our Comments to find out what the class learned and enjoyed about the walk.
