"In the year of our Lord 1314, patriots of Scotland, starving and outnumbered, charged the fields at Bannockburn. They fought like warrior poets. They fought like Scotsmen. And won their freedom."

William Wallace. ca.1272 -1305

William and Murron

There was Blind Willie's epic poem, there have been many books written, and then, there was the film. William Wallace is a hero for every age, and every age sees Wallace differently. Yes, amongst all the mythology there was and is a man, who fought for Scotland's freedom, who tore the English apart at Stirling Bridge, and who, in turn, was himself defeated at Falkirk.If you have seen the film, and felt a fierce pride, then good for you, it's what the film was all about, but remember, though there were correct historical facts inter-laced in the story, the majority of it was based on Blind Willies poem. If you want to know more about the historical William Wallace, then follow the links, to be found at the right hand side of the page. We'll add to the links, as we come across them, and remember............
