    We were amused with the William Wallace statue in Stirling. The likeness of Mel Gibson inside a chain lick fence, with an inscription of "Freedom".

    Very cool statue, but according to Matt http://www.albanach.org/kilt.html it seems Wallace probably never wore a kilt.

    Anybody else notice on the last line:

    It seems to be the earliest monument to Wallace, that near-legendary symbol of Scottish patriotism.

    look at the word near.
