The Bulletin  

"Griffo” in America— page 3s  

Wednesday, December 25, 1957  

Price 1/-  

THE NATIONAL AUSTRALIAN NEWSPAPER  

Registered in. Australia fortransmission by post as newspaper.  

THE WALLACE MONUMENT, RAISED  

TO HERO'S MEMORY  

IRTINC. at the mouth of the River Forth, dominates the road  

to the north and is the historic gateway to the Scottish Highlands',  

It was favourite residence of Scottish Kings and Queens, and it has  

placed its part in many notable occasions.  

One of its famous battles was that of Stirling Bridge, in 1297,  

when the Scots, under William Wallace, won resounding victory  

oyer the superior English forces under Warenne, Earl of Surrey.  

Warenne advanced to the bridge, the only one crossing the Forth  

in those days, and which was barely wide enough for two horsemen  

riding abreast. Wallace, who held strong position on the hill  

known as Ailsa Craig, waited until half the English force were across  

the bridge before swooping down to attack. The battle ended in  

complete rout of the English force and the survivors were pursued  

south to Newcastle.  

Wallace is commemorated by the imposing Wallace Monument  

which crowns the summit of Ailsa Craig, on the outskirts of Stirling!  

and which is illustrated here. Above the entrance to the tower is  

bronze statue of Wallace of heroic proportions, the figure being  

thirteen feet high. Within the tower is the spacious entrance hall,  

refreshment room and hall in which are displayed some suits of  

armour., facsimiles of documents concerning Wallace, his famous  

two-handed sword, which is five feet four inches in length, and  

superb windows blazoned with appropriate coats-of-arms.  

Steps lead to the top of the 220 feet high tow'er, which provides  

magnificent views of Highland peaks and the gleaming waters of  

the River Forth. From the tower can also be seen five battlefields,  

the most famous of which is Bannockburn, fought in 1314. The  

battlefield lies near the town of Bannockburn, two and half miles  

east of Stirling, and the Bore Stone, on w'hich Bruce planted his  

standard, is still preserved there.
