Scotland travel: William Wallace Monument

[KevinBusomjack]

HAHAH! They have a statue of Mel Gibson at the William Wallace memorial? HAHAHA!

[Injektilo7]

@KevinBusomjack They do, and they have to lock it in a cage every night because otherwise it gets vandalised (It's had its face gouged off, been hit by a hammer, covered in paint and so on) by the locals who are quite annoyed at having their history trivialised.

This of course only creates a whole new irony... A statue with the word "Freedom" written on the bottom which is locked in a cage. A truly awful statue.

[ShredderLivesOn]

@KevinBusomjack Thankfully that statue is gone for good. Tom Church, the guy who made it, can't even give it away. It's sitting on display in his workshop in Brechin.

[jameswx09]

i am a true descendent also, my name is James Wallace. and no i dont think i am just because my last name is wallace, my great great grandpa came from scotland

[goldenmessenger]

then you might wish to know that wallace was half english , his mother was taken on the night of her wedding , premanocta, and the sheriff impreganted her.

wallace also killed his own step farther , malcom wallace becuase he sexualy abused him as a child which is what caused wallace to be so angry and violent his mother was party to that as well.

she also fulled wallaces anger towrds the english by telling him that she was rapped by the english , thats why he hated them so much .

[thomas242007]

ive heard my famiily the maclaren clan fought with wallace at the big battle cool history huh

[Madcronic01]

yo, i am a true descendant of celtic scotsman. with the last name that means horselord and im sayin to all you pppl we did wear kilts and we wore them proudly since before wallace wtf r u smoking these days. you will understand when you are related, to wallace. my last name is "McKeachnie" son of eacharn from the isle of mull. i am so proud of those TRULY brave men who died so i could live. its a good name and a good heritage i could never be so proud than i am today, cuz it lives on in thru me!

[cmb1992]

well done for talking out your arse. No one knows hios heritage as it is beyond records. Fuck off back to Canada.

[goldenmessenger]

wallace never fought for scotland he just said he was , he was actualy fighting for his own agenders as was most of those scotts which is why they all betayed each other.

those scotts who had wealth and land were the least likly to fight becuase they had something to loose it was the poor working men that fought the english

however the scotts were brave ill give you that .

[goldenmessenger]

wallaces mother was rapped by an english sheriff on her wedding night to malcom walllace, premanocta,

and wallace is half english , he fought the english becuase his mother filled his head with hatred after she told him she was rapped .

not only that but malcom and his wife both sexualy abused wallace as a young and thretend him with violence if he told anyone .

the only outlet wallace had for his pain was to kill the english .

wallace killed malcom wallace for abusing him no the english

[username1me]

@goldenmessenger what alot of bullshit you thick little spack

[o0scotland0o]

@goldenmessenger wit a load a bull shit guess the english has filled yer heed with shit like that

[oljai]

@goldenmessenger were you there mate?

[dshishod]

i agree

[dshishod]

i don't think that is how wallce would've actually looked like due to the fact the statue is based on mel gibsons character of william wallace, think he would've been a little more ruggad, still a great man tho

[cwood4ever]

We need our heroes to look larger than life. If we saw him as just a man people wouldn't be impressed. we tend to make our heroes look super human but in reality they put their pants on one leg at a time just like us.

[dshishod]

yeh i agree

[BillDFC]

Also agree.

wallace was a true scot a great man a fucking legend and he did dress like that cozz back in 1297 when he fought the brits at sturling bridge that was the way the scots dressed for battle

[Schleichmann]

back in 1297 there were no kilts. they didnt appear before 1600 ...

[vojobog88]

William Wallace never looked and dressed like this.Its pure fantasy.

[smffey]

I was in London recently looking for William Wallace's plaque and I was looking for days....the Brits kept asking me: "there'such a plaque? What's so interesting about it lady"? When I found it I was really shaking! Scotland the Brave, all hails from Greece!
