With a year to go until Bannockburn 2014 Mid-Scotland and Fife MSP Murdo Fraser has welcomed the opening of ticket sales and the launch of the Bannockburn Live event.
As Convenor of the Scottish Parliament’s Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee Mr Fraser has played a key role in scrutinising the event.
Bannockburn Live is being staged by Unique Events and has been designed to have to evoke the life and battle of medieval Scotland.
The event will also mark the official opening of a new state-of-the-art visitor and heritage centre.
Tickets cost £20 for an adult, £12.50 for a child/concession and £55 for a family.
Commenting Murdo Fraser MSP said:
“In my role as Convenor of the Scottish Parliament’s Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee I have spent a long time scrutinising the preparations for this event.
“The programme of events looks fantastic with some interesting interactive activities to keep visitors of all ages entertained.
“I think it is crucial that this event remains free from political interference in the run up to the independence referendum; there can be no place for campaigners to hi-jack the celebrations.
“Bannockburn 2014 will be a great opportunity for both Scots and tourists to explore and commemorate our history and is also a superb window for Stirling to market itself to the world.”
