Scotland's kings placed great importance on the strategic stronghold of [[Stirling]], leading to the battles of [[battle of Stirling Bridge|Stirling Bridge]] and [[Battle of Bannockburn|Bannockburn]] during the [[Wars of Scottish Independence]], when the historic figures of [[William Wallace]] and [[Robert I of Scotland|Robert the Bruce]] emerged. In 1320 a remonstrance to the Pope from the nobles of Scotland (the [[Declaration of Arbroath]]) finally convinced [[Pope John XXII]] to overturn the earlier excommunication and nullify the various acts of submission by Scottish kings to English ones so that Scotland's sovereignty should again be recognised by the major European dynasties.

In 1468 the last great acquisition of Scottish territory occurred when [[James III of Scotland|James III]] married [[Margaret of Denmark]], receiving the [[Orkney Islands]] and the [[Shetland Islands]] in payment of her [[dowry]] and in 1493 his son, [[James IV of Scotland|James IV]], successfully ended the quasi-independent rule of the [[Lord of the Isles]], bringing the Western Isles under effective Royal control for the first time.
