Highland Swordsman

Pawn
Bannockburn Scottish (Light) Side

Available only with complete set

Bruce's friend, Angus Ogg MacDonald, Lord of the Isles was one of Bruce's most ardent supporters. Never quite acknowledging Bruce as "King" over the Isles (the mainland was OK!) Angus Ogg saw himself as fighting with rather than under Bruce. Such were the king's political skills and his high regard for MacDonald, this gave him no difficulties and the Islesman was to prove to be his greatest ally on many occasions. No more so, than at Bannockburn.

Although his commitment was doubted and eventually dismissed by Bruce's brother Edward, Angus Ogg MacDonald arrived as promised, the day before the battle, his many thousand fierce fighting men swelling the Scottish ranks. His swordsmen were considered amongst the most fierce in the land and it was behind many such warriors that Bruce took to the field of battle.
