The Wallace Monument is one of Scotland's most famous landmarks. But I've never actually been there!

I've driven past this monument on the hill a thousand times, but until today I had no idea what it was like inside. Was it worth the visit? Watch on to find out :)

I went here for the first time back in 2019, you never realise how lucky you are to be from an amazing country until you see it on camera. This is definitely my favourite channel. Great stuff lad 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Steve - Although winter is stark and dreary, it allows for great video of monuments and such as the vegetation doesn't block out the intended subject views. Thanks so much for taking us along and stay safe. Dia luaths agus na gaoithe a leanas. // God speed and following winds.

Thank you, you are so right, and we had the place to ourselves pretty much too!

Nice to see something that was a childhood memory. Stirling is my place of birth, but Fallin just 3 miles along the forth. Is the family village. (Mining). Shame for the weather, but could you imagine using those step with two way traffic. Glad your Cauliflower soup was hearty. Just made some here. Once again Guys loved the video. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Stirling has always been my favourite city in Scotland - so much history!

Very true - another trip or 2 required to capture some more!

[@andynjw1163]

Been there many times and will visit many times more. Just love Stirling and surrounding area.

[@tormid100]

Wallace monument is well worth a visit. The view from the top is superb. The history of William Wallace is very interesting. I have a suspicion you love our dear country Steve.

[@bigwill4423]

Wow, fancy building a monument to Mel Gibson.....I didn't even know he was dead! lol 😉Seriously though, great vid as always and glad to see Alicja making an appearance again in this one. You two always interact so well together in the vids and it adds an extra dimension to them. Fantastic views over Stirling from the top and great exhibits to see inside the tower. As a tight Irishman I'm not sure if I'd want to spend a tenner to see inside the tower but it might be worth it because where else in the world do you get to sit on an actual invisible bench! lol Keep em coming Steve and look forward to the next one!

[@steve-marsh]

Haha cheers Will! Aye, it's always more fun with the sidekick :)

[@mstrdiver]

A wee bit of Sir William Wallace's Scottish history -- www.britannica.com/biography/William-Wallace William Wallace, in full Sir William Wallace, (born c. 1270, probably near Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland-died August 23, 1305, London, England), one of Scotland’s greatest national heroes and the chief inspiration for Scottish resistance to the English king Edward I. He served as guardian of the kingdom of Scotland during the first years of the long and ultimately successful struggle to free his country from English rule.

[@jennrodenbach4122]

Thanks for the tour of the Wallace Monument! I absolutely love watching your adventures 💕 Have you ever thought of walking in the Bannockburn area? I just spent a week there...Beautiful walking trails in the area including the old golf course, a walk to the Brae , easy walk to the battlefield, the charming buildings in the Coal Wynd and a wonderful Coffeehouse!!

[@steve-marsh]

Thanks so much for the info! Added to the list now 😊

[@thomaswislocki2804]

Many thanks Steve and Alicja, I used to run up and down steps for fun...but age takes its toll and I couldn't climb the memorial today, so your excellent video opened my eyes to the fantastic experience the monument is representing some of our fantastic Scots history. It's a shame an earlier poster had to bring politics into the comments...never mind I'm like you Steve my heart beats stronger every time I see the Saltire flying proudly above Scotland's grandeurs mate.

Cheers Thomas! What a great workout!!!! Aye, lets keep this a politics-free zone eh! :)

Love the video of The Wallace Monument ❤ Exceptional view in good weather, perhaps try a visit again in good weather. Thank you Steve

[@steve-marsh]

Good idea!

[@ozgirl45]

This was great fun and interesting! So nice to see Alicja today! I did get to Sterling a few years ago but the tour went to the castle so the monument was pointed out as “over there, on the top of that hill”. I can’t imagine tackling those stairs in summer with tourist crowds as there scarcely seemed room for one person at a time. I love Alicja’s remark about history: “it depends who you ask”. Lol. That sums it up.

[@mstrdiver]

So says our Polish guide with the Scots' hat. Get warm again guys.

[@aprilandersen6940]

I went in May of 2018 and climbing up was no joke with people coming down at the same time. On the up, you are on the inside of the stair and there is barely room for your feet!! But we are coming back this year and are planning on doing it again!!

[@steve-marsh]

Cheers Heather! Oh, Alicja always comes out with the best replies :)

[@steve-marsh]

Haha true!

I watched this video when it first came out and decided to go on a trip to the Wallace Monument for photos and it was well worth the time! I dont think i could have had a better day to do it as it was warm, sunny and clear. Once at the top you could see probably quadruple what you guys had 😆 Keep up the good work Steve 👍 and you never know i might plan another day out based on your videos!

Interesting tour Steve, been to Stirling Castle, not the Monument, the only encounter I’ve had with William Wallace was Mell Gibson in ‘Braveheart’ and it’s doubtful that was historically correct at all! but I thought it was a magnificent movie, those steps to the top of the monument would have finished me off forty years ago, stunning views though despite the good old Scottish weather, I can’t stop shivering 🥶 and that soup looked delicious 😋 had to smile at someone’s sense of humour with the toilet roll holder! I wonder if I have a tin of soup 🍜 in the cupboard! thanks 🙏 again Steve & Alicja 🤗👋

Haha I always want soup when I see it on the screen too :) Braveheart is awesome, need to watch again and just ignore the historical accuracy!

That was really interesting to see... thanks for sharing it with us...

[@robertbell2524]

That was very good, Steve & Alicja. I have always wanted to go to the Wallace Monument, but I havn't yet managed to. Your visit was very informative. You are a hardy pair, going up to the viewing platform in such weather. In Ayr, if you were to walk up the River Ayr on the north bank, there is a small spring which is called Wallace's Heel, although I don't believe there is a marker saying so. There are steps down to the bank of the river. It is near to an old ruined lime kiln & also a bend in the river. Wallace's heel is supposed to have been from where William Wallace jumped from when making an escape across the river. I used to wonder how on earth he could possibly have jumped so far over the water, but he would have made his leap long before the river was damned. Sometimes at certain angles of the sun I have been able to look beneath the flow of the river & have thought how beautiful the river must have been before it was damned. So the river in Wallace's time, I think, must have been much narrower. That is another walk which you might like to take if you visit Ayr. It is possible to walk up either side of the river Ayr. The Stepping Stones used to be much more of a beauty spot than it is now, but it is still an interesting place. Because the bypass runs next to the Stones, it is always possible to cross the river, unlike when I was a child. There was no bypass at that time, so if the water was high & over the Stepping Stones, it wasn't possible to get across.

You two are so funny! You made our day! Sitting here with Brent on a sunny Saturday afternoon with temperatures of -11C. Already had my walk so it was time for a Marsh moment! Stirling Castle was one place we wanted to go but that was fantastic to see the Wallace monument. What a structure, amazing! That interactive screen showing the landscape was great. I love it when they use visuals like this to help understand what a place used to look like compared to its present state. So sorry you guys have had such nasty weather lately. That same weather system gave us snow unfortunately but that is starting to melt some now, thank goodness. That wind on top of the monument is something else! This would be a beautiful place to visit when it was warmer and clearer. You guys will have to visit it again just to get an extensive view when there are no clouds or fog. That would be epic! Hope we get to visit here when our Scotland trip eventually happens! All the best to you both and here's to an early spring! 🌞
