  • The Battle of Roslin was a battle of the First War of Scottish Independence, taking place on 24 February 1303 at Roslin, Scotland. A Scottish army led by John Comyn and Simon Fraser defeated the English. The English force was raised primarily from Northumberland and was tasked with intervening in support of the occupation forces of Edward I. According to Grey's Scalacronica the objective was to raise a Scottish siege of Linlithgow Peel. There are no records of such a siege, but the possibility cannot be discounted. Both forces comprised men-at-arms and were relatively meagre. The claim that a great English army was raised for the campaign is undermined by the record material. The much smaller Scottish force rode through the night from Biggar, intercepted them and defeated them in two, possibly three, sharp fights. The site of the battle has been said to be the field opposite the old and new burial grounds. Members of the Comyn, Fraser and possibly Sinclair families fought at the Battle of Roslin.
