Big Tam up there is a member of the William Wallace Society, and he goes round schools to chat to the
primary school kids about historical stuff - as he says “the correct version, not the Braveheart version”

Interesting that Mel Gibson is about 5 56 ft. Wallace was 6 ft 7 ft tall. You’d think the directors might have selected a more appropriate actor.

St. Andrew’s Day, celebrated on November 30 each year, is considered a national holiday in Scotland and across Europe. Known as the patron saint of Scotland, Romania, Greece, and many more European countries, St. Andrew was an apostle who not only introduced his brother, Peter, to Jesus but also helped Scottish King Oengus I win a crucial battle against Northumberland, securing Scotland’s safety. St. Andrew died a martyr and was crucified on a saltire, or an “X” shaped cross, in Greece in 60 AD.
Oh dear…
Yes, I know. Still not the best choice IMHO.

I agree, May…nice music too.
I met a William Wallace once when i was wee and lived up North. He wasn’t Scottish though, lived in Corby. His wife was lovely as well.
May the truth is out there… 
Er, no he didn’t, as he’d been dead for around 800 years.
