James Douglas — the "Black Douglas" and Bruce's greatest commander — conducted regular raids on Berwick and the surrounding area between Bannockburn and the town's eventual Scottish capture in 1318. These raids maintained psychological pressure on the English garrison and the civilian population of the border town.
Scottish raiders (Douglas): c. 300–800. English garrison: c. 150–400.
