Mother Of Sir William Wallace Grave Dunfermline Fife Scotland [00:25]
Tour Scotland video of the grave of the mother of Sir William Wallace on visit to old graveyard by Dunfermline Abbey in Fife. W illiam Wallace was born on 1272 in Ellerslie, Scotland. He was the second of three sons of Sir Malcolm Wallace, a minor laird possessing little political power and nobility, and Margaret de Crauford, the daughter of Sir Reginald de Crauford, the Sheriff of Ayr. William Wallace was educated at home by his mother, then given schooling and religious education by the monks of Paisley Abbey. Traditions surrounding Dunfermline tell that Sir William wanted to erect a monument to his mother after her death in 1280, but did not have time to do so, thus he planted a thorn tree instead. The Dunfermline Abbey Kirk Session Burial Register records burials by marking them from that Thorn Tree, a singular honor. The thorn tree stands on a small mound on the northern side of the Kirkyard.

Tour Scotland video of the William Wallace doorway on visit to Kilspindie, Perthshire. This recently discovered door connected Kilspindie Church to the path to Kilspindie Castle of which there are no remains, though some of the stones are built into Kilspindie Church. The original castle was the home of the uncle of William Wallace and it is known that he spent much of his childhood here and would have often walked through this door to attend church services.

Sir William Wallace, in Scozzese medievale: Uilliam Uallas; Scozzese moderno: Uilleam Uallas; Latino: Guillelmum le Walois de Scotia militem (Elderslie, 1270 -- Smithfield, 23 agosto 1305), è stato un condottiero scozzese che guidò i suoi connazionali alla ribellione contro l'occupazione della Scozia da parte degli Inglesi; nel quadro delle Guerre di indipendenza scozzese, Wallace combatté anche contro re Edoardo I d'Inghilterra. È considerato l'eroe nazionale scozzese. La visione popolare consolidata spesso considera Wallace come una "persona del popolo", in contrasto con il connazionale Robert the Bruce (Roberto I di Scozia), che era di nobile lignaggio. La famiglia di Wallace discendeva da Richard Wallace (Richard il Gallese), un possidente terriero che visse sotto i primi membri della famiglia Stuart, poi famiglia reale a pieno titolo. Wallace nacque a Elderslie, nel Renfrewshire (vicino a Kilmarnock, Ayrshire) attorno al 1270, il che lo rendeva ancor giovane negli anni di maggior splendore personale, tra il 1297 e il 1305. Il film del 1995 Braveheart - Cuore impavido (Braveheart) di Mel Gibson, vincitore di 5 premi Oscar, tra i quali quello come "miglior film", offre un racconto molto romanzato della vita di William Wallace, interpretato dallo stesso Gibson.
