Stirling - Wallace Monument

Dominating the surrounding countryside and about 1.5mi/2.4km northeast of Stirling, the National Wallace Monument, was erected in 1869 in memory of the victors of the Battle of Stirling Bridge. Inside the square tower (220ft/64m), as well as the marble busts of famous Scots, there is an exhibition recounting the bitter struggle that took place between Sir William Wallace and the English invaders between 1296 and 1298. Many people come to this well-known landmark simply to admire the splendid view.
