Tour Scotland Photographs Church of the Holy Rude Stirling
Tour Scotland photograph of the Church of the Holy Rude, Stirling, Scotland. The Church of the Holy Rude is the second oldest building in Stirling, after Stirling Castle. The church was founded in 1129 during the reign of David I, 1124 to 1153, as the parish church of Stirling. Nothing of the original structure now remains due to a fire. Construction on the new nave was underway by 1414, and based on the heraldry the vault of the nave was completed between 1440 and 1480. Work on the chancel did not commence until 1507 and completed around 1530 which was when the west tower was also extended to its current height. King James VI was crowned King of Scots on 29 July 1567; John Knox performed the ceremony. This makes the Church of the Holy Rude and Westminster Abbey the only churches in Britain still in use to this day that have been the sites of coronations.

Tour Scotland Photograph St Ninians Old Parish Church Stirling
Tour Scotland photograph of St Ninians Old Parish Church, Stirling, Scotland. Erected in the 1730's, the Steeple in the graveyard at St. Ninians Old Parish Church is all that remains of the old church. While Stirling Castle was under attack during the Jacobite rebellion, the original church was used as a powder magazine and was widely believed to have been blown up by the retreating Jacobite army in 1746. An account kept in Stirling Council Archives, suggests that the Jacobites enlisted local help to remove the gunpowder. Some of the locals took the opportunity to help themselves... " filling their pockets and hiding parcels of powder under most of the seats of the church. " A guard who saw what was happening, fired a warning shot, ignited the powder and blew up the church along with several people.

William Wallace. Man and Myth. William Wallace (c. 1274 to 1305) is a legend. The champion of the independence of Scotland, defeated by Edward I and eventually hung, drawn and quartered in London, he is revered to this day as Scotland's foremost patriot. Since his death, the Wallace story has been one to inspire, and the cult of Wallace has travelled far beyond Scotland itself, helped by Hollywood. Yet Wallace's life is still a mystery. The sources are few and have been grossly distorted over seven centuries through ballads, penny histories and poems This book, based on the original research by Scottish historian Graeme Morton, is the first to fully examine both the contemporary sources that are available and the way the many strands of the Wallace myth have been constructed, communicated and appropriated from his death right up to the present day. William Wallace: Man and Myth
.Sir William Wallace of Ellerslie is one of history's greatest heroes, and one of its greatest enigmas, a figure whose edges have been blurred by myth and legend. Even the date and place of his birth have been mis-stated. This biography tells of a man who, without wealth or noble birth, rose to become the Guardian of Scotland. It describes the heroism and betrayal, the valiant deeds and attrocities, and the struggle of a small nation against a brutal empire. William Wallace: Brave Heart

Influenced by early church reformers such as George Wishart, he joined the movement to reform the Scottish church. He was caught up in the ecclesiastical and political events that involved the murder of Cardinal Beaton in 1546 and the intervention of the regent of Scotland Mary of Guise. He was taken prisoner by French forces the following year and exiled to England on his release in 1549.
