The forest is no longer there, but the video above was shot from the site of the battle. The words on a plaque at the site; " Black Earnside, 12th June 1298. On this site a major tactical battle was fought and won for Scotland by their guardian, Sir William Wallace, against the Earl of Pembroke, who was acting on the orders of his English master, Edward Plantagenet. This plaque has been erected by the people of Newburgh in recognition of the part played by their forebears in assisting Sir William Wallace in defence of our country.
