| Am absolutely proud as punch to finally see the wee monument that I doodled in my sketch book all those years ago finally standing in the Necropolis at Glasgow Cathedral. Congratulations to all at the Society of William Wallace for not giving up on this project and a huge thank you to the two sculptors, Roddy and Chris, whose talent, skill and commitment brought the idea to life. Amazing work, guys. On a side note, this monument was set in place two days before the official unveiling, on the anniversary of the death of Wallace's great adversary - King Edward 1st - self proclaimed "Hammer of the Scots". Well, guess what? We're still here, Eddie! Andy Hillhouse (designer of the monument) | |
