This is actually a really good question and one that I feel I can awnser. The Scottish army would have looked very different from that of most of europe at the time, except for the knights. They looked almost identical to many of their european counterparts, especially those of their Anglo-Norman neighbors. The Scottish foot soldier at best had access to a cloak and tunic, but were bare-legged and barefoot. Their weaponry was varied, but the sturdy lowland spearmen carried a 12- to 16-foot-long spear and a small shield. The Galwegians and other foot soldiers carried axes, spears, and whatever other weapons they could bring.

The Scottish armor worn by the knights mirrored that of the most european powers at this time. This is not surprising, considering that the Scottish king, King David had brought many Anglo-Norman knights north with him when he ascended the throne. They remained in the north, being granted lands and power. Over 200 of them accompanied King David when he invaded northern England in support of Matilda.
