Along the way we look on a number of battlefields that shaped Scotland, hear how King Richard II of England came to be buried in a back garden in Stirling, and visit Cambuskenneth and the tomb of King James III of Scotland.
Music from the single, 'We Fight For Freedom', by Eddy Burns - available to download from all digital music platforms.

Fascinating to 'walk through' the woods surrounding the monument. They are lovely woods, and it's intereting how secluded one might feel in them. A great place for a Scottish Army to 'hide'. In around 1995 a friend and I went on a sort of 'William Wallace' tour, which included climbing the stairs to the top on the Monument. I seemed to always be drawn to the Stirlingshire area, because in the late 80's my band rehearsed and recorded at the MacRobert theatre, then, from 2014 until 2018 one of my bands ( half of the original members from the '80's ) recorded and rehearsed in a basement bookshop in Maxwell Place, which you walked past in the video. If you'd filmed that sequence on a Sunday afternoon, the chances are that we were down there working. As always, your commentary causes me to snigger alot. Sounds like you are singing in Gaelic at points. Incredible that you were producing all this under your own steam and I and many others were oblivious. As I've said before in these comments, you ought to have your own TV Channel. Meanwhile I'm grateful that it's all here on RU-vid for our viewing pleasure :))

Hi Eilean. The MacRobert Theatre was a major player in the 1970s music scene. Saw Arthur Brown doing weird stuff in a giant syringe on stage, Elkie Brookes and Robert Palmer, and the band called Home, which included Laurie Wisefield. The good old days.

Eddie! This is amazing, thankyou for the memory. One of my favourite routes to run when I used the live in Riverside.

I am a Family genealogy researcher, which I have been for 28 yrs, and also into history as well, and stumbled upon your video here, which was amazing, along with the places and the history as well, but like you, I also dislike cars, though I have to admit I HAVE to use one now, since I can no longer walk all over the place, like I did when I was younger. But even with the RSDS in both my legs along with Spinal issues, I do push myself to walk as much as I can, while I still can. Never give up, never surrender:-)..Found the walk though the woods very refreshing and wish I could do that..question, does anyone of history or actual kin to Wallace know what all of his body parts are buried or IF any of them were ever found and buried?

Good question. His body was cut up and parts sent to all corners of the country as a warning. You may find this web page interesting: www.thesocietyofwilliamwallace.com/wallacesburialplace.htm

I watched this on April 1st, I don’t think I will be enquiring about undergarments when I next go there even if it’s open.

Do you have a video where you cross the old bridge , Causeway head Road / Raploch area from memory . I lived in a building almost on the bridge called Brighae . Can't see it on current photos . Demolished I suppose .

Hi Peter. I always think Google Maps Street View is a seriously useful tool for any number of reasons. The following link will take you to Google Maps Street View which shows the old cottage on the end of Stirling's old bridge. Not sure if this is the property you mean: www.google.co.uk/maps/@56.1291073,-3.9356085,3a,90y,289.28h,87.35t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1smH6CAJe8v16ouZjWLT6OgQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

@@EdExploresScotland Thanks Ed ! The three story building in the middle is the one . Late 70's , no pubs on Sundays , I used to go to a place called 'The Sword Hotel. People from all villages around used to go there on Sunday . Always felt that a new battle was about to begin . Near Wallace Monument I think . Seating outside .

Yes, I remember the Sword Hotel, just at the foot of the Wallace Monument. A bit on the basic no-frills side but a shame it's gone. Area now houses.

Is this a route per-determined and if so what is the distance?
@EdExploresScotland
@EdExploresScotland 11 месяцев назад
No, it's just a wee walk I made up. Buy the Ordnance Survey Landranger map number 57, 'Stirling & The Trossachs' and you'll see the route, and make up any other walking route that you want.

If you mean the tomb at Cambuskenneth, I'm afraid I haven't a clue. I think it was spruced up in Victorian times. At the end of the day, bones, I would think.
