@williamwallacee Correct,apart from the date. This was near the site of the castle of Dundee,which was in the hands of an English occupying force. The English governor was a man called Selby.

Wallace was educated in Dundee and was confronted by some English,one of whom was the son of Selby.

In the fracas that followed,Wallace dispatched the English man,thus striking the first blow in the RESTORATION of his nation's Independence and freedom.

@BillDFC Yes my friend i do believe it is william wallace. and it says something along the lines as.

william wallace 1288 struck the first blow for scottish independence.

@williamwallacee There is a tiny plaque almost hidden in a wall at the top of the Seagate. It commemorates an incident in Dundee involving our greatest hero.

Dundee Council tries to ignore him, as it tries to ignore our past as an independent nation. Guess who he was? The name you use is a clue.
