Counting down to Linlithgow Bridge 500

Throughout next year (2026) a series of special events will mark the 500th anniversary of the Battle of Linlithgow Bridge. The Battle500 programme is a collaboration between various local organisations, and we are delighted to confirm that the Scottish Battlefields Trust is supporting them in a number of ways. In particular, we are helping to coordinate part of the climactic anniversary weekend of 5-6 September 2026. More news in due course!

The Battle500 programme has now launched a dedicated website, with a calendar of events and opportunities to support the project. Make sure you check it out:

Members can look forward to an article on Linlithgow Bridge in their copies of Battlefield Magazine early next year.
