And when Edward was given the broken Scottish royal seal, he set it aside, commenting. A man does good business when he rids himself of a turd. One by one, a host of Scots came to do homage to Edward, including the Bruces, but there was one who did not Malcolm Wallace. And this Malcolm had a brother. Here he is, the standardissue freedom fighter of the imagination the " give ' em hell" whiskers, the " save me, Jesus" eyes, the hamstrings from hell. We' ve not a clue, of course, whether William Wallace looked remotely like this any more than we know whether he could have stood in as a stuntman for Mel Gibson, who immortalised him in " Braveheart". But Wallace is one of those largerthanlife figures whose epic romance refuses to go away. It just grows, to match this extraordinary monument to him dominating the Stirling skyline. |
