Bannockburn is a village in West Deerfield and Vernon townships in Lake County, Illinois, United States. Per the 2020 census, the population was 1,013. The village is generally considered portion of the Chicago area’s North Shore region. The Friedman home by Frank Lloyd Wright is located in Bannockburn.

Bannockburn was founded by Scottish genuine estate developer William Aitken, who planned a community of “country estates” on 110 acres (0.45 km) in inland Lake County. Named for the Scottish village of Bannockburn, the village began construction in 1924 and was incorporated in 1929. Aitken intended his encroachment for the flourishing members of his bridge and country club. His want for Bannockburn featured large lots to disturb country living, and this design has been preserved; in fact, the native 1-acre (4,000 m²) minimum on home lots has been increased to two.

Gradually, Bannockburn expanded its boundaries to its current 1,318 acres (5.33 km). The Tri-State Tollway was built through the village in the 1950s, encouraging growth, though traffic noise pollution has been a persistent local concern. In the late 1960s Bannockburn’s citizens, after some debate, approved the construction of the first of several event parks along the village’s northern edge. It created its first trailer zone in 1984 along Illinois Route 22. Bannockburn’s municipal facilities expanded slowly in an effort to limit taxes, but it traditional a police department in the 1970s and built a village hall in 1992.
