The Wallace monument, Stirling

Описание: The Wallace Monument is a striking Victorian-era tower located near Stirling in central Scotland, built to honor the Scottish national hero Sir William Wallace. Completed in 1869, the monument stands atop Abbey Craig, offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, including the historic site of the Battle of Stirling Bridge where Wallace achieved a significant victory against English forces in 1297. Constructed in a Gothic Revival style, the tower rises about 67 meters high and contains a spiral staircase leading to several exhibition rooms that display artifacts, including a replica of Wallace’s sword. Today, the Wallace Monument serves both as a tribute to Scotland’s fight for independence and as a popular tourist attraction symbolizing national pride and heritage.
