- Mrs. Birinaje citiralaпре 5 година
Grieving widow Devorgilla Balliol wore her dead husband’s heart like a jewel – and founded Sweetheart Abbey near Dumfries as a place where it, and she, could be buried. - Mrs. Birinaje citiralaпре 5 годинаBooks, songs, poems and blockbuster films praise Wallace as one of Scotland’s greatest heroes. It is strange but perhaps inevitable that a statue below the massive Wallace monument at Stirling is modelled on Australian movie star Mel Gibson.
A group of Scots, averse to this cinematisation of history, protested at the likeness. Soon the statue had to be cordoned off to protect it from vandalism. Strange that a statue proclaiming ‘FREEDOM’ should have to be locked behind bars for its own protection! - Mrs. Birinaje citiralaпре 5 годинаThe Stone of Destiny (real or fake) was ‘kidnapped’ from Westminster Abbey in London by Scottish students in 1950. It was found in Arbroath Abbey, returned to London, and then officially given back to Scotland in 1996.
