FREEDOM!!!

Then it was off to Stirling where we visited the William Wallace Memorial. I came here in 2006 and at the time there was a statue resembling Mel Gibson as Braveheart at the site. It is no longer there, but they still sold replicas of the statue in the gift shop. Dietrich has Wallace blood, which is why he wore the Clan Wallace hunting tartan at our wedding. The memorial stands well over the treeline and can be seen from Stirling Castle. It is a 15 minute walk up to the site. 





This is Wallace's actual claymore. It is HUGE!
