Wallace Monument

[Douglas McMann]

"We come here with no peaceful intent, but ready for battle, determined to avenge our wrongs and set our country free..."

Part of a speech attributed to William Wallace (not the Mel Gibson persona)...

Hero or Villain...???

(Cropped heavily to avoid the flippin' power lines...!!!)

Really like this shot. I would like it just as much even without the significance of the monument.

Thanks John...it was a horrible dreich day and I was struggling for a decent spot on the castle esplanade amongst the bus loads of Asian tourists who had descended on the place...all holding their state-of-the-art telephones up in front of them, and hearing snatches of "Freedom" interspersed with their native tongue...quite surreal really...

Looks dreich, right enough. Not bad shot, considering. Haven't been there for 15 years or so.

I do like the sombre feel of this, and the soft tones.

Thanks Pete...
