The National Wallace Monument, Stirling
We have almost finished this extraordinary fortnight in Scotland covering two very different scenic areas. Many photos taken and this is our last evening. A late stroll along Stirling’s great river Forth gives us a glimpse up to this very Scottish monument.
The National Wallace Monument is a 67 metre tower on the shoulder of the Abbey Craig, a hilltop overlooking Stirling in Scotland. It commemorates Sir William Wallace. Wallace was a Scottish knight who became one of the main leaders during the First War of Scottish Independence. He was born c. 1270, probably near Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland—died August 23, 1305, London, England and is one of Scotland’s greatest national heroes and the chief inspiration for Scottish resistance to the English king Edward I. He served as guardian of the kingdom of Scotland during the first years of the long and ultimately successful struggle to free his country from English rule. Along with Andrew Moray, Wallace defeated an English army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in September 1297.
The 1995 epic American drama, Braveheart, with Mel Gibson was based on Wallace leading the Scots against England.
This taken from some distance away alongside the river. The inside is open to visitors and from the top of the very spacious tower one has fantastic panoramic views (not that we got there ~ ) ).
Enjoy full screen.

Herb Riddle club has replied to neira-Dan clubI might have been tempted to clone out those distracting stray branches in the foreground, but this is still a superb image.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton clubKeep good. Herb
Keith Burton club has replied to Herb Riddle clubI really enjoy your landscape images...............especially the ones from Scotland.........so keep 'em coming!
Whoever cast Mel Gibson as the lead in Braveheart needs his or her head looked at. There must have been a real Scottish actor who could have handled the part.

Cheers, Rosa.
