The Medieval Period (1100AD - 1499AD)
During the medieval period Scotland's story was defined by
centuries of feuding between the most powerful families in the land
and the constant threat of aggression and occupation from its
larger southern neighbour. The people of the south-west suffered as
armies advanced and retreated leaving devastation in their wake.
They also bred extraordinary heroes who devoted their lives to the
struggle which ultimately united the people of Scotland and won
their Independence.
