Scotland: The Wallace Monument

Sunday started off with a trip to the Wallace Monument. I climbed up to the top for the 4th or 5th time. My TripAdvisor review:
"Been here 4-5 times now, the last time was in October 2017 with a friend. We dutifully climbed the 246 steps up to the top, where we nearly got blown off the roof, then walked the 246 steps doon again. The views are stunning from up there, but not on a stormy, foggy day with sideways rain... Anyway, interesting presentations on the three levels before you reach the top and a well stocked little souvenir shop. An hour well spent in one of Scotlands must-see destinations."

The Wallace sword. According to the people out at the Bannocburn Center, it has been been extended to its present length; the original sword was much shorter.
