Wallace National Monument

The National Wallace Monument is one of Scotland’s most distinctive landmarks. The stunning 220ft tower honours the famous Scottish warrior - Sir William Wallace. It took eight years to build, and was funded entirely by contributions from the public totalling more than £15,000. Around 80,000 people made their way to the town of Stirling from all over Scotland and beyond to attend the ceremony of the laying of the Foundation Stone.

Today the Monument continues to celebrate and protect the heritage of Sir William Wallace, Scotland’s first National Hero, helping everyone to enjoy it now and in the future. Reaching out to those who love the story of the famous Scottish warrior and leader, and to those who have yet to discover it.
