To celebrate 10years since the opening of Landscapes Gallery in 1997 three stunning brand new prints have been launched.

'Wars O Independence' depicts the artist's interpretation of the famous 'Battle o Stirling Bridge' led by the Scottish Patriot William Wallace. The battle was a defining moment in Scottish history and paved the way for Robert the Bruce to gain Scottish Independence on the fields of Bannockburn.

The battle itself was a significant military achievement annexing the English footsoldiers on one side of the 'brig'. In the panic that ensued the soldiers tried frantically to re-cross the bridge only to meet their own cavalry. The weight was such the wooden bridge collapsed and many brave Knights were swept away in the freezing waters of the River Forth.

The painting conveys well the mayhem and slaughter of battle at its height. Each print carries with it a poem by the artist/poet.

'Wars O Independence'

'In Arrogance they came and went
their prejudice in battle spent
and on that glorious day were slayed
an' for their folly dearly paid.
In consequence, mair bluid wad rin
upon the fields o Bannockburn
Oor freedom then by Bruce proclaimed
Oor independence rightly claimed!'

J Clark 2007
