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!

Stirling Castle has to be the go to Castle in Scotland, if far outshines Edinburgh Castle. It is steeped in History for you to see and touch, as well as having guided tours every hour more or less. We learned a lot of history that day and it gave us a much better understanding of Stirling Castle and it's importance. Highly recommend a visit.

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
8. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman

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.
