Why is it that Scottish warriors are always depicted as nothing more than a rabble? They had very capable soldiers and weapons, and were well versed in siege warfare, as well as open battles. They were generally well equipped, probably at least equal to their English counterparts. The clansmen often followed the King's army, but never went wild as these movies show. Hollywood, or whoever made this dribble, really need to learn their history.

@@cymro6537 Scottish women were known to fight during clan battles, but not against organised armies. As for the woad thing, that was purely a Celtic practice, a thousand years before Braveheart. The Celtic warriors would paint their bodies in woad, as they believed it would give them protection from their gods.

@@Madmac-ep1eo Yes , seeing the women fighting against an organised castle garrison seemed rather incongruous to me - here in Wales there's only one contemporary historical source of a woman fighting in a battle - her name was Gwenllian - in 1136 she commanded her Welsh army by default as her husband was fighting elsewhere ,but the fact that a woman fought at all was exceptional and noteworthy enough to be documented .As for the woad ,that would've been in use a thousand years previously - but not by the Scots - but the Picts. I'm something of an anorak when it comes to these matters - the costumes were also incorrect - but of course the film's producers ,set designers, wardrobe dep etct are producing ultimately a piece of entertainment - rather than a documentary. 'The Outlaw king' - the history of Robert the Bruce is much nearer the mark - there are a couple of battle scenes on KZitem that are worth looking at.

I guess there's a certain appeal with the image of the wily feral Scotsman, basically a barbarian with a kilt. The Scots have a reputation for being fierce and tenacious fighters so that image has been easy to sell, despite having the best of intentions. That's why I thought Outlaw King was far more historically accurate than Braveheart or this movie as the Scots have the same weapons and equipment as their English adversaries.
