Today marks the 700 year anniversary of the death of William Wallace. It was today in 1305 he was taken to London, dragged through the streets for 6 miles, hung, drawn and quartered.
Experts say that Scotland would be just another region of England today if Wallace did not rebel against the tyrant Edward Plantagenet, Hammer of the Scots, and his brutal armies.
Across from Westminster, the place of Wallace's execution, there is a church service to mark the sadness of the day.
It is good that i can write this an know that most people across the world will know who i was talking about although most picture him looking like a certain hollywood actor.
Wallace was, in contrast to Gibson, a giant of a man, able to weild the claymore (a massive two handed battle sword) with a single hand cutting his enemies in two with a single blow.
Anyway, i thought i would mention this as every Scot will be thinking how grateful they are to have had a saviour like him...
For 700 years he has been a symbol of Scotland's resistance to oppression and injustice and has been the foundations of many great nations today.
