Campbell Pikeman

Pawn
Bannockburn Scottish (Light) Side

Available only with complete set

Sir Neil Campbell of Lochawe, although of Highland background, had many men from the Lowland areas in his force. The pikemen it was who formed into their four-sided 'hedgehog' schitrons and inflicted so much damage on the charging English heavy cavalry. This was a tactic invented by Sir William Wallace who first used it in battle with the sharpened ends of young trees. It became a recognised form of protection by the few against the many, later translating into even more devastating effectiveness with the birth of the rifle.
