Wallace Day 2021

WALLACE DAY 2021

Gordon and Gary prepare

Wallace Day this year was a bit like - thank goodness we were not doing the march and holding a massive event. The ongoing COVID pandemic and, on the day, the weather had greatly restricted what we normally do, but it was brilliant to see so many people turn up on a traditional Scottish summer day... To everyone who turned up, thanks so much and it was great to see a young lad lay the SOWW wreath.

Thoughts already of next year, hopefully COVID will allow us to do our normal Wallace Day once again, and when we do, we would love to see hundreds of you there to celebrate the life and times of Scotland's greatest hero.

A rather damp gathering
