Well, since you asked... <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
Of course the castle there in Edinburgh is great...mostly touristy stuff but fun nonetheless. Falkirk and Bannockburn are both close by and are famous battle sites. Stirling is not too far away and has a lot of fun stuff including Stirling Castle and the Wallace national Monument. There is a good helping of the hollywood bs to please the american tourists but if you talk to the people working there and want to know about the real history they are glad to chat. Just remember that he never wore a kilt , the battle of Stirling had a bridge involved and WW never hooked up with the Eng princess. If you got that under your belt you are off to a good start. In the Wallace Monument they have the "Sword of WW" There is tons of debate on the authenticity of this thing (its my opinion that there is virtually no way it could really be his sword) but its interesting nonethe less.
Of course if you can get farther up north then you deffinatley need to visit Culloden. Its a very interesting place. Maybe its just my heritage and affinity for Scottish stuff or being somewhat of a Latter Day Jacobite but its really a spiritual place almost. Dont know how else to explain it. They have a great visitors center and tons of info and weapons to look at. Hope this is of worth! <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
