Bannockburn

I'm inspired to write some "stuff" about the League World of Bannockburn but I want to ensure I don't go against any previous material....the question is "what is there?".
I'm know that there's a few paragraphs in the FSR GMG and the 2nd ed Players Companion has a bit in the Gannock section but is anyone aware of any other sources?

There's some mentionings throughout, but nothing much. Merchants of the Jumpweb discusses Bannockburn a little bit in relations to the Musters Guild. One of the chapters in Weird Places discusses a location on Bannockburn, "The Symbiot Isle". And there is also a mentioning of Banockburn in Hawkwood sources somewhere (LotKW? Imp.Survey?), which discusses how House Hawkwood runs a customs stop in the Bannockburn system for all ships destined for Hawkwood Space coming out of Stgmata.
There might be other sources as well...

If I may suggest, make it "Scottish".
I believe it has great plains (low land) and areas full of hills and mountains (high lands).
Maybe some Rob Roy adventures. =P

With a name like Bannockburn one pretty much HAVE to make it Scottish
Roy Roy is over three centuries after the Battle of Bannockburn, but he'd make a great FS character for sure

Oh yes, the writing will also involve drinking suitable quantities of whiskey.
Just for authentic inspiration obviously
I need to justify the Gannock with windswept moors and scottish aesthetic in my head.

Heh heh, nice image.
As for whiskey, I think there are some reports of Bannockburn whiskey distileries in canon. That's certainly something you could explore
Say, what kind of piece are you thinking of writing, Bertjammin?
