==History==
The township, originally named Leigh Road, founded in the early 1850s, is assumed to be named after the 14th century battle site in Scotland. It grew as a coaching stop during the 1850s and 1860s when gold was shipped from the Ballarat goldfields to the port of Geelong. The railway came to the town with the opening of the Geelong-Ballarat line in 1862,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rail Geelong - Geelong Line Guide )〕 but today only grain and freight trains use the line. The township grew around the railway station and a Post Office (Leigh Road Railway Station) opened on 18 May 1863 (and renamed Leigh Road (1873), Wabdallah (1875) and finally Bannockburn (1892)).
The township contains notable examples of Victorian colonial architecture, such as the former Somerset Hotel (1854), now a private home, and the Bannockburn railway station (1863). The railway station is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.
