CHAS’ & RUBY’S 2006 UK TOUR
Afternoon of Wednesday, May 31st

CHAS & RUBY Visit The WILLIAM WALLACE MONUMENT

After leaving Doune Castle, I headed back to Stirling to pick Ruby up.
Well, of course I missed an exit and had to turn around …
But, while turning around I was able to snap this pic of
one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE UK SIGNS!

[This sign is especially … poignant … now that I’m 50!!! LOL]

Finally, I managed to find my way back to the Stirling Shopping district …

Managed to find the place where I dropped Ruby off …

AND, I even managed to find a PARKING SPACE

CLOSE to the PUB where we’d agreed to meet!

After a “cuppa” (Oh, OK! I had ONE lousy glass o’ wine!) we headed off to visit The WILLIAM WALLACE MONUMENT “Completed in 1869 after eight years' construction, the 220 feet high Wallace Monument sits prominently on the Abbey Craig two miles north of the city of Stirling itself.”

Visitors to the Wallace Monument can enjoy the following:

• Re-live William Wallace's life and trial
• William Wallace's sword
• Building The Monument Exhibition
• Hall of Heroes
• Audio Tour (in 5 languages)
• Free Car Parking
• Shuttle Bus from the Car Park to the Monument
• Visitor Pavilion
• Coffee Shop, Souvenir and Gift Shops
• Fantastic panoramic views

Well. Visitors to the Wallace Monument can enjoy those things
ONLY IF THEY ARRIVE
DURING THE HOURS THAT THE MONUMENT IS OPEN! LOL

Unfortunately, WE arrived after closing time! (After 5 pm.) So … Ruby & I enjoyed milling about in the parking lot at the BASE of the Abbey Craig, and taking pix of the monument from there! LOL

HEY! We got these great GIANT BUNNY PIX …

taken through the FENCE that surrounded this nearby meadow!
