At one time Gillies Hill was a natural, unspoilt and beautiful part of Cambusbarron with many idyllic features and views. However, due to many years of past quarrying activities the area has been decimated. Gillies hill is an area of huge Scottish historical importance and due to planning application by a quarrying company to resume quarrying activities, this heritage site is again under attack and will possibly be destroyed and lost forever. The hill played a pivotal role in Scotland’s history when Robert the Bruce’s troops rested there on the eve of the Battle of Bannockburn, in 1314. Now, almost 700 years since English invaders were driven out of Stirling, we face new invaders in the form of Tarmac and Hanson.
