The Great Siege of Berwick-upon-Tweed culminated in the Battle of Halidon Hill fought to the north of the town on 19th July, 1333. This conflict pitted a newly enthrone Edward III of England against a mighty Scottish host. In this online event, local historian Jim Herbert will talk about the circumstances that led to the Scottish Wars of Independence and discuss the details and outcome of this most significant of battles. There will be the opportunity for a question and answer session afterwards.
