William Wallace Statue

I am sure that almost everyone who has visited Scotland went to Stirling to visit the William Wallace monument, a Scottish hero, but it is also possible that none have come close to this other almost completely unknown monument. We discovered it by accident when buying a small book in Oban about the life of Wallace so that Rodrigo could practice reading. As if it were a greeting or a farewell to Scotland, this stunning sculptured work by John Smith at seven meters high, is surrounded by thick vegetation and close to the River Tweed, accessed by a small dirt road without signs, and a tiny parking lot.
