Members of a project team working on the new Bannockburn Visitor Centre have appealed for photos and memories from people who have visited the site over the decades.
The Bannockburn Visitor Centre project team has appealed to the public for photos and memories of visiting Bannockburn over the years, to celebrate the creation of a new Bannockburn Visitor Centre, due to be completed by 2014.
National Trust for Scotland Project Director David McAllister said: 'We very much want to hear from people about their visits to Bannockburn, possibly with their family, friends or even a school group.
'When we started this project everyone around the table had their own clear memories of visiting the site and what originally struck them about it. Our plans for the new centre are very ambitious but we are determined that it will retain its place in the community and will inspire people to want to understand the lead up to the battle, the battle itself and the far-reaching consequences of the outcome.
'Earlier in the year we invited the community to come and see the plans and meet the team and it was hugely helpful to us in adapting our designs to address issues that only local expertise could identify.
'Now we would like people of all ages from all around the globe to send us their pictures and home movies to learn what made their visit memorable.'
