The Battle of Loudon Hill 1296 by Mike Shaw.
In 1296 an English convoy escorting a shipment of looted gold was passing through the Irvine valley to the port of Ayr. It was led by an English Knight by the name of Fenwick, who in 1291 had killed the father of William Wallace, Sir Malcolm. Wallace, who was fighting a guerilla war on the English invaders, planned an attack at Loudon Hill where the road on which Fenwicks convoy was travelling had to pass through a steep gorge. Wallace had about fifty men and Fenwick close to one hundred and eighty. The Scots blocked the road with debris and attacked on foot. The English charged, but the Scots held firm. Fenwick armed with a spear, turned his horse in the direction of Wallace, who in turn felled Fenwicks horse with his claymore. The unhorsed Englishman was no match on the ground where he, along with one hundred of his convoy, met their deaths.

William Wallace Before the Battle of Stirling Bridge by Mark Churms.
With Edward I absent from Scotland the land soon slips once more into open insurrection. Though not of noble birth, William Wallace, by brutally slaying the Sheriff of Lanark in vengeance for the murder of Wallaces new bride and her servants, soon comes to embody the Scottish Nationalist cause. Through his popularity and military skill, he is able to rapidly unify the rebellious bands into a single, cohesive fighting force. An English army is sent north to defeat the Scots and capture Wallace and the only noble to come to Wallaces assistance, is his friend Andrew Murray. Other Scottish landowners are too timid and fear the consequences. The armies meet at Stirling and the English begin to deploy across the narrow wooden bridge which spans the River Forth. Whilst the English commanders bicker about their battle plan, Wallace seizes the moment and blows his horn. Upon this signal, the massed ranks of Scottish spearmen charge forward across the open boggy ground towards the bridge!

Stirling
Bridge & Falkirk 1297-98 by Pete Armstrong The
death of the last of the Scottish royal house of Canmore in 1290 triggered
a succession crisis. Attempts to undermine Scottish independence by
King Edward I of England sparked open rebellion culminating in the English
defeat at the hands of William Wallace at Stirling Bridge in 1297.
Edward gathered an army, marched north and at Falkirk on 22 July 1298 he
brought Wallace's army to battle. Amid accusations of treachery,
Wallace's spearmen were slaughtered by Edward's longbowmen, then charged
by the English cavalry and almost annihilated. In 1305 Wallace was
captured and executed, but the flame of rebellion he had ignited could not
be extinguished.
