New historical tour tells real story of William Wallace
Almost unbeliveably, next year sees the twentieth anniversary of Mel Gibson’s epic which, at the time of its release, was hailed as great entertainment – albeit pretty dodgy when it came to the true story of William Wallace.

Hide AdNow, in a bid to ‘recapture’ The Braveheart, a Wallace Tour is being organised with the help of Lanark Archaeology Society, its leading light Ed Archer outlining what that trip through the Royal Burgh’s history will consist of.
Of course, the site of the old Lanark castle will be at the heart of the tour.
