William Wallace


William Wallace is perhaps the greatest hero of the Scottish people. His legend inspired 100,000 people to gather on June 24, 1861, 556 years after his death, at the opening ceremony of the 300-foot National Monument in Stirling that continues to honor his memory. It was here Wallace once led a band of desperate and outnumbered Scots to a glorious victory over the English.

The fabled five-foot sword that once belonged to Wallace is on display in Stirling Castle. Born around the year 1267, Wallace was the second son of Malcolm Wallace, a middle-class landowner who was educated and spoke three languages. William Wallace was educated at Paisley Abbey by his uncle but little is recorded of his day-today life. It is believed he once went to the Pope to plead for Scotland's freedom and, while guardian of Scotland, attempted to develop trade for his country.

Material wealth was of no interest to Wallace, who refused the Crown of Scotland when it was offered to him. While the Scottish nobles around him were accepting lands and titles from the English King, Wallace remained committed to freedom and honor for Scotland.
The battles in the film "Braveheart" truly happened, the English throne was intent upon exterminating the Scottish people and this is a part of history no Scot can forget.

Screenwriter Randall Wallace believes his screenplay for "Braveheart" captures the spirit of William Wallace in bringing to the screen the hero whose story has gone untold for too long.

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see.
† † †
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace that fear relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
† † †
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
† † †

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds
And drives away his fear
† † †
Must Jesus bear the cross alone
And all the world go free
No, there's a cross for everyone
And there's a cross for me
† † †
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
† † †
Written by John Newton

The Bonnie Banks O' Loch Lomond

»@«*´`*»@«*´`*»@«

By yon bonnie banks, and by yon bonnie braes
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
There me and my true love spent mony happy days
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.

»@«*´`*»@«*´`*»@«

Chorus
Oh, ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road
And I'll be in Scotland before ye
But trouble it is there, and mony hearts are sair
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.

»@«*´`*»@«*´`*»@«

'Twas there that we parted in yon bonnie glen
On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomond
Where in purple hue the Highland hills we view
And the moon glints out in the gloamin'.

»@«*´`*»@«*´`*»@«

There the wild flowers spring and the wee birdies sing
And in sunshine the waters are sleepin'
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring
Though resigned we may be while we're greetin'.

Loch Lomond, Scotland

......very famous Scottish Song
Written by Robert Burns

Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?


For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld land syne
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.


We twa hae run about the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine
But we've wander'd mony a weary foot
Sin' auld lang syne.


We twa hae paidl't in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin' auld lang syne.


And surely ye'll be your pint stoup
And surely I'll be mine
And we'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.
