The 11th of September is a significant date in the history of Sir William Wallace and The National Wallace Monument. It was on this date in 1297 that Wallace led the Scots to victory at The Battle of Stirling Bridge, and 572 years later in 1869 that the 220-ft Monument built to commemorate him opened its doors.
To commemorate both anniversaries, join us at the Monument on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th September 2022 as we celebrate with axe throwing, archery, and actor performances of ‘Scotland’s National Hero’ each day.
