A short bus ride out from Stirling brought us to Stirling Bridge, site of Wallace's greatest victory over the forces of Edward I "Longshanks". The original is gone, of course, but this one is beautiful and gets lots of pictures.
The Wallace Monument extends into the sky exactly 273 steps and affords a gorgeous view of the landscape 36o degrees.
Statues of Wallace, similar to this one on his monument, are found all over Stirling.
Wallace's sword, the claymore over 6 feet long, is showcased on the second level of the monument.
By the way, did I mention that I am also a Wallace, from my Mother's side? It's true!
