Certainly hope so... and Septemeber... both good and bad for Scotland..
11 September 1297 - Battle of Stirling Bridge (Scots Win)
3 September, 1650 - Battle of Dunbar (Scots Lose)
Battle of Philiphaugh, 13 September 1645 (own goal)
Battle of the Clans : 28th September 1396 - (Nasty! Home sides only involved)
(This was a gladiatorial fight to the death to settle a long running feud between the powerful Chattan and Mackay clans. 30 warriors from each formed before Robert III. All Mackays died, except one who swam the River Tay, to the loss of 10 Chattans. Legend has it that the Chattans were a man short so a local saddler was paid to take the place. He survived, having joined the winning side!)
Battle of Tippermore : 1st September 1644 (Another own goal)
James Graham, Marquis of Montrose, with 2000 Highlanders and Irish defeated a Covenanter force of 6000 under Lord Elcho at Tippermore and occupied Perth. This was the first battle in Montrose's failed rebellion in support of Charles I carried out while the main Scottish army was in England supporting the Government forces there.
Prestonpans ( East Lothian) 20th September 1745 (Scots Win)
