National Wallace Monument
Inside the monument are various exhibits including a Hall of Scottish Heroes and Wallace's mighty two-handed sword (5 ft 4 in long – about the same height as the actor who played him in the film). There are fantastic views from the top of the 220-ft tower – if you can manage the climb up its 246-step staircase. There's a shuttle bus which runs from the foot of the hill up to the tower every 15 minutes. An open-topped tour bus runs to the monument from Stirling Castle every half hour. And did you know - a new statue to Wallace located in the car park was decapitated by locals because it bore too strong a resemblance to Mel Gibson...
