"I have brought you to the ring, now dance the best you can!" Words shouted by Wallace to the Scottish army at the Battle of Falkirk on the 22nd of July 1298 as the English cavalry began to charge. |

"This statue of William Wallace which flanks the entrance to Edinburgh Castle was the statue that inadvertently gave the inspiration to the movie Braveheart". The scriptwriter Randall Wallace visited the castle whilst on vacation in Scotland, noticed this statue, and was intrigued as the subject had the same second name as his own. He asked one of the staff who this famous Wallace was, and was quite simply told; "That sir, is our greatest hero!" This sent Randall on a quest to discover all he could about this man called William Wallace, and resulted in "Braveheart" being released in 1995. |
