1314 is the year of 'The Battle of Bannockburn' (24 June 1314), a notable and decisive victory of Robert Bruce over English forces in the Wars of Scottish Independence.The Battle of Bannockburn on 23 and 24 June 1314 was a victory of the army of King of Scots Robert the Bruce over the army of King Edward II of England in the First War of Scottish Independence. Though it did not bring overall victory in the war, which would go on for 14 more years, it was a landmark in Scottish history.
The victory against the English at Bannockburn is the most celebrated in Scottish history, and for centuries the battle has been commemorated in verse and art.

Flower Of Scotland, the unofficial national anthem of Scotland, refers to the victory of the Scots led by Robert the Bruce, over Edward II of England at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.
The song was composed in the mid-1960s by Roy Williamson of the folk group the Corries. It was first heard publicly in a 1967 BBC television series and is frequently performed at special occasions and sporting events as an unofficial national anthem of Scotland.
Although there is no official national anthem of Scotland, Flower Of Scotland - Song is one of a number of songs which are used, along with the older Scotland The Brave - Song.
