The tower was constructed following a fundraising campaign, which accompanied a resurgence of Scottish national identity in the 19th century. In addition to public subscription, it was partially funded by contributions from a number of foreign donors, including Italiannational leader Giuseppe Garibaldi. Completed in 1869 to the designs of architect John Thomas Rochead at a cost of £18,000,[2] the monument is a 67-metre (220 ft) sandstone tower, built in the Victorian Gothic style.

The tower stands on the Abbey Craig, a volcanic crag above Cambuskenneth Abbey, from which Wallace was said to have watched the gathering of the army of King Edward I of England, just before the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297. The monument is open to the general public. Visitors climb the 246 step spiral staircase to the viewing gallery inside the monument's crown, which provides expansive views of the Ochil Hills and the Forth Valley.

A number of artifacts believed to have belonged to Wallace are on display inside the monument, including the Wallace Sword, a 1.63-metre (5 ft, 4 in) long sword weighing almost three kilograms.[3] Inside is also a Hall of Heroes, a series of busts of famous Scots, effectively a small national Hall of Fame

Hi, thanks for sharing.  The first photo on 2# is a bit under exposed I think

Anew, you hit the mark. Camera settings are quite perfect, you reached its upper limit. With a pilot like you, the drone cries for an hardware update (attention dji!). Splendid views en detail and far away ...

... But some of your links lead me to sites where I get serious goose bumps. Especially concerning the fate of Wallace.

That really is some stunning architecture, thank you for sharing. You should put this on SkyPixel as well.

Good video. Thanks for your sharing.
