    P1M, I thought I'd read somewhere that the Gibson, errrrr, Wallace statue at the foot of the hill was going to be auctioned off. Maybe I dreamed it, eh? Word has it that Gibson's comment when he saw the statue was, "They've made my legs too short."

    Isn't this one a much better representation?

    The first time I saw a picture of that horrid statue I thought it was a styrofoam publicity stunt for the movie. Only later did I find out that it was actually a truly misguided modern addition.

    Historical or not, accurated or not, traditional or not, and even with all the stereotypes that are shown on the film, ... guys, u must all agree that WE ALL ENJOYED IT!!!! and of course, for many of us living far from Alba it was a whole discovery that flamed even more our hearts for that wanderful land!

    ¡Salud!
