Scottish Government halts horse racing track plan near Bannockburn battlefield due to potential impact.
The Scottish Government has intervened to halt plans for a horse racing track near the historic Bannockburn battlefield site, following concerns about the potential impact on the designated battlefield of national significance. Stirling Council initially approved the plans, but the National Trust for Scotland had previously objected, stating that the development would "fundamentally alter the experience" of the site for both current and future generations. The Scottish Government's decision to review the plans is due to the potential impact on the Bannockburn Rotunda and the designated battlefield of national significance.
