Information on Sources & Publication
The majority of the sources are English, and are the work of churchmen not present at the battle; the Scottish accounts are similarly by clerics. They are all later than the battle and none is in any way an eyewitness account. This is one of the reasons for the low level of information provided, as the purpose of the accounts was more about the larger implications of the battle than the details of the battle itself. It means that all of the accounts are suspect, and there is little of the detail about numbers that can be considered reliable. There was a purpose in inflating the numbers of the dead, and in exaggerating the disparity between the two armies. The battle is mentioned reasonably often in works relating to the Hundred Years' War, because of the importance of the tactics that were first employed at Dupplin Moor. However, this is the only real interest taken in the battle by the secondary sources. It acts very much as a footnote in the history of the Plantagenets, perhaps appropriately as theirs was a hidden hand at the time.

About the Inventory of Historic Battlefields
Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.
We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.
The inventory is a list of Scotland's most important historic battlefields. Battlefields are landscapes over which a battle was fought. We maintain the inventory under the terms of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979.
We add sites of national importance to the inventory using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)
The information in the inventory record gives an indication of the national importance of the site(s). It is not a definitive account or a complete description of the site(s).
Enquiries about development proposals requiring planning permission on or around inventory sites should be made to the planning authority. The planning authority is the main point of contact for all applications of this type.
Find out more about the inventory of historic battlefields and our other designations at www.historicenvironment.scot/advice-and-support. You can contact us on 0131 668 8914 or at designations@hes.scot.
