Wallace Monument

Standing on top of the Abbey Craig, a wooded outcrop 2 miles north of Stirling is the National Wallace Monument, which built as a tribute to William Wallace.

It was from this 110m/360ft high hill thatWallace watched the English army cross Stirling Bridge before he led the Scots to battle and victory against them in 1297.

The 67m/220ft high tower was designed by J. T. Roachead and took 8 years to build and was completed in 1869. Money for the monument was raised by public subscription.
