The night before Stirling Bridge, both armies manoeuvred for position. English reconnaissance parties probed the crossing points including a ford downstream from the bridge.

The preliminary skirmishing established that the bridge was the only practical crossing under Scottish observation — funnelling the English into the trap that destroyed them the next day.
