As you climb towards the crown of the famous tower, each level tells the story of Scotland’s National Hero, and shows how his part in the history of Scotland has been recognised through the generations – The Hall of Arms shows how The Battle of Stirling Bridge was fought and won, with a film depicting Wallace and Andrew de Moray in conversation after the encounter. The Hall of Heroes tells the story of how Wallace has been acclaimed as Scotland’s first National Hero. The centrepiece in this gallery is the Wallace Sword, which struck fear into the hearts of Wallace’s enemies. From the crown of the Monument – the panoramic views stretch out towards Loch Lomond, The Pentland Hills, Fife, and The Firth of Forth.
