The National Wallace Monument

- Construction of the 67m (220ft) Wallace Monument was completed in 1869. It stands on the Abbey Craig hill and after climbing the 246 steps, the views from the top are wonderful. It overlooks the City of Stirling and surrounding countryside.
Built as a monument to Sir William Wallace who, in 1297, defeated the invading forces of Edward I of England ("Longshanks") at the Battle of Stirling Bridge.
The movie "Braveheart" depicting Wallace has made this attraction even more popular, although the storyline in the film was mainly fictitious and historically only vaguely fact based.
Music from "Braveheart".

I was just here with my family last week from the U.S.. What an amazing structure! Excellent view and history inside of Scotland's heros. 256 stair steps to the top - very narrow spiral staircase. Quite an accomplishment for the time and fitting monument for William Wallace and others.
Fuck the us
Ya shite
Its beautiful. Im Native American i always admired Scotland and Ireland. I love the castles and green land. The castles are amazing. I could just stare at them all day.
This is the first time I've looked at footage of the monument. I was there in 98 with my wife a few days after we were wed in a castle SW of Edinburgh. You couldn't drive up to it then. I recall the wind at the top was like a small tornado. I remember everything about that trip, including the walk up those stairs. Lost her to a car accident 9 years later. Life kind of ended then. Wish I could go back there and the other places we visited.
While one is watching this, one is looking down upon the modern town of Stirling. But while watching, it tends to make one drift back in time to an age when there were warriors who battled against tyranny and oppression for causes they believed in.
Very Special! I finally made the trip. Like going home! Thank You. Ps. Nice your honoring James Horner's sound track. I meet him right before Braveheart came out in the movies. We had a talk about music. Did not know he wrote the soundtrack. Until I was in the movie theater. My favorite soundtrack ever. And my favorite movie. We miss you James! R.I.P

@btlim5163 Thank you.
As the monument stands on top of a hill, it looks very much bigger than it is, and dominates the Stirling area skyline!
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing💖✨
Brilliant video in every aspect. The last piece of music...whenever i hear it, it reminds me of all the lost soles, crying for help . Very moving ! Thank you for a great video.
I'm not Scottish, I'm Hungarian but I love Scotland. Braveheart and the Merida are the best films. I wanna live there.
It’s tough to even think about how many times the Scots have fought & won their freedom. ✌🏼💙🏴
Even more American then America itself
Thanks for sharing this ..grt footage and music fantastic
Awesome but modern lighting and TV in Wallace Monument is crazy! If they used a torch would be much better.
I went there. I saw the uniform that he wore too. Scotland is one of the most beautiful countries.
Great photography! It's breathtaking. Scotland is one of my favourite places in the world. Thanks for sharing :0)
5:00 mark the sunlight and the river form a cross or sword as if William Wallace is still protecting their freedom
That's absolutely beautiful. I would love to see that, I love that movie braveheart, the music is so pretty. I am part Welsh, and Scottish. Beautiful place
Thanks for the upload... I would love to see it one day!
Go!!!
@@dougpotosky4102 as soon as I have the money I will. (I may just stay)
@@perception913 Or! Having it inside of you. Then you don't have to live there!
Magnificent structure and scenery !!!! Beautiful country. !!!! 👍👏🇬🇧
Sir William Wallace faught and died for his absolutely beautiful country,his rights as Scotsman and as human being. We English were arss wipes back then. Braveheart may not be all accurate,but it introduced me too Sir William Wallace and his passion and relentless fight for what his by God. He died a horrible death but Scotland won their freedom against English in 1314 at battle of Bannockburn. His legacy and Robert the Bruce will live on forever, and rightly so. Xxx
Amazing! Thanks a lot!
I am looking to be there soon , I never was in Scotland but yet I have Wallace's as my relatives and Murray , Kennedy , Monroe , McCombs. Pipes they sound good , very good.
thank you,i'll be here soon,,or i hope so...really,there are so many places to visit in Scotland...
thanks for the vid, probably going tomorrow
Absolutely beautyful
I am from Spain. The history of Scotland is amazing.
Free scotland. you are not English. Scotland must be independent. And be a country that belongs to the EU. You must fight to honor those Scots who fought for your freedom from the English yoke.
Scotland was a kingdom and must once again be free from English clutches. Long live Scotland from Spain. Fight for your just independence from England.
My grand and great grand fathers were from Aberdeenshire .
My land is in my blood.
A Gordonach, BYDAND.
Great video!
🤣🤣
My kids call the monument granny’s castle as they can see it from her backgarden😂😂
I live behind that big hill at 3:50 and I've never been there lol. Great vid.
Lol...........I laughed SO damn hard when I read your comment!!!! HAHAHAHAHA! You crack me up !!!!!
The monument is 2 miles from Stirling, so you are looking down on Causewayhead, on the north side of the city.
I climbed the stairs to see William Wallace's bloody uniform.
nice work, like the "walk about" the samsung keeps focus very well.

Accidenti che spettacolo...awesome landscape from here,,very tall tower,,

Lindo cara
There should be a memorial for Andrew morray as well he led the rebellion in the North the same time Wallace led in the south😁😁
I'm English and respect William Wallace.
THE WALLACE!
Had the privelage of being here twice...and theres more to come!
Edit: there were renovations being done to the top the last time, so I wasn't able to climb all the steps.
plzz give the name of background music🙏🙏🙏
Braveheart sound track!
Scotland and Greece also have the same patron saint . St Andrews :)
I went there, and I saw his bloodied jacket.
I truly wish that we had more William Wallace's today instead of the blood sucking politicians.
That music
Camera moves pretty fast..could stand to have panned slower.
I was there as a young man. Very Stirring. I still don't understand the Scot's relationship with the English, however. They fought for their freedom from the English in the 13th century under Wallace, finally winning freedom under Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. The English were back somehow for many years. Then the Scottish Highlanders were defeated in a brutal slaughter at Culloden in 1746 that saw the extermination of the Clan System, the wearing of the Clan Tartans, and even the prohibition of the playing of Bagpipes. It was a brutal reign by the English, yet the Scots keep coming back to England and the British Empire. In a recent referendum, they STILL voted to remain in the British Empire rather than be free. Is it resources, a standing army? What keeps the Scots coming back for domination?

GREEKS AND SCOTTISH ARE BROTHERS!!
You never showed his sword!
if I remember well the sword of Sir William Wallace is displayed at the second floor where there is a little movie telling the story of Sir William
Sorry guys but is everyone just getting their "facts" from Braveheart? Nice building though.
I'M dreaming to go back to Scotland, and maybe find a suitable house
🙄👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👀
ACTUALLY I AM RELATED TO WILLIAM WALLACE' HIS OLDER BROTHER WAS MY 9TH GREAT GRANDFATHER AND DIED AT THE TOWER OF LONDON 2 YEARS AFTER WILLIAM WALLACE DIED; AND I AM ALSO RELATED TO ROBERT THE BRUCE; AND TO LONGSHANKS THE KING OF ENGLAND AT THE TIME!

As the Islamification of the UK accelerates, eventually, this will be seen as offensive and Islamophobic. It will be torn down.
