A national hero - a national landmark. For 150 years The National Wallace Monument has been standing proudly on The Abbey Craig, outside the historic city of Stirling, and telling the thrilling story of Sir William Wallace, Patriot, Martyr, and Guardian of Scotland.

The climb up to the top of the Monument is well worth the climb and the viewing of the artifacts within are breath taking, the gift shop is reasonably priced as well, we will be back to climb those stairs again!

This wonderful memorial sits so well in the lovely countryside. I think the best view is heading from Doune towards the M9 junction

Very impressed by the sheer size of this star and its surroundings. This area marks where Robert The Bruce planted his standard near the spot where the Scottish Patriots under his command vanquished the army of Edward 2nd of England at the Battle of Bannockburn on the 24th June 1314. The words on the plaque are so brilliant. "We fight not for glory, nor for wealth, nor honour, but only alone we fight for freedom which no good man surrender but with his life". I can but only imagine hearing these words from Robert The Bruce in preparation to go to battle, rousing is an understatement.

I have passed this statue on many occasions not knowing anything about it . I was pleasantly surprised to find a wee bit of Scotlands History celebrating the pioneering aviators Harold and Frank Barnwell . The first powered flight in Scotland was on 28/07/1909 at a site near this spot . The Brothers owned the Grampian Engineering and Motor company in Causewayhead yards from this memorial . They went on to work at Vickers Limited in these early years of flight

This monument stands in tribute to Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, a former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom who also held other cabinet posts. A champion of liberalism, some of his legacies include the provision of free school meals for children, work and welfare reforms, and curtailing the power of the unelected House of Lords. This monument depicts Bannerman in portrait pose, wearing the robes of the Grand Order of Bat, and an exceptionally well executed sculpture.
9. George Christie Clock Tower
