Bruce's Stone commemorates Robert The Bruce and was unveiled 05/06/1929. The stone reads 'In loyal remembrance of Robert The Bruce King of Scots whose victory in this Glen over an English force in March 1307 opened the campaign of independence which he brought to a decisive close at Bannockburn on 24th June 1314.' The stone overlooks Loch Trool in the Galloway Forest Park.

You may need to bring your own history book to understand the role King Bruce played and why the battle is important as you don't get much more than just the rock with an inscription
