Wallace may have been hung drawn & quartered by the English but the Scots are having the last laugh with the cost admission. Fantastic views from the top of the monument. More

The Wallace Monument is located near Stirling. Although there's not much else to see besides the actual Gothic Sandstone Monument I would advise you pay the monument a visit. Be warned though there are over two hundred steps to get to the top viewing point, plus your so close to Stirling you'll be able to visit the monument and Stirling... More

Stirling Castle & stunning views can be seen from the towering top of this special monument, dedicated to a great national hero...Sir William Wallace! Just hope you have a lot of energy to walk up a 246 step spiral staircase & back down (although there are informative floors to rest at, on the way up or down). One of these... More

A MUST if you interested in Scotland´s history and a tremendous place to honor the life of William Wallace - a brave man who fight not for glory or fame. Don´t miss the brilliant animation on the first level. The design of this huge tower reminds me always on the movie set of "Lord of the Rings". If you make... More

If you can get there on a nice day, it's a gorgeous walk with a beautiful view of Stirling, even from the base! Even more amazing once you reach the top. Suggest going early to beat crowds if you can, the stairwell was not built for large numbers! More
