The Wallace Monument

see the pictures fine here.

I have also been to the Wallace monument. I didnt get any pictures of the interior and I am sure Mike had the same issue. It is a narrow tight oneway staircase to the top. I wanted to take pictures but I was swimming against the stream of 2 busloads of teenagers. I never get clostrophobic but I was close. I was afraid of getting my camera bumped and dropped.

It is a great site, you have a good view of Stirling castle from Wallace with the valley inbetween. Both sites are elevated.

If you're having problems seeing the images, it's on your end of the pipe. Sorry. I block hotlinking from my site, but I obviosuly have X Marks white-listed. And I find it hard to believe anyone is behind a firewall as tight as my own.

George, I never felt closed in, but an arthritic knee was screaming at me all the way up those steps. It was early September, but it was a chilly day and the wind was blowing hard, so it was c-o-l-d.

Another great photo series Mike.

Ok this is a dumb question, but that is Wallace's actual sword right? Or is it one similar to one he would have wielded?

Cheers

I have specifically added Xmarks to my firewall trusted zones Mike and still no joy.

It doesn't say anything is being blocked it simply doesn't even show the pics are supposed to be there in the first place.

Are you using photobucket to host?

I just finished a load of work here at home and this is the first thread I opened at XMarks today - all I can say is - wonderful Mike. Your recent string of photo threads are a real "shot in the arm" for this XMarker.

Sooooooooo THANKS!!!!!
