What a spectacular day at the Wallace Monument! After all of this snow we have had, it was lovely to take a trip out to Stirling in the glorious sunshine and enjoy a morning and afternoon spent at one of Scotland’s most historical monuments. Having been learning about the Scottish Wars of Independence for our last topic, it was wonderful to see the place that so much of what we were learning about took place. We were able to see Stirling Castle, The River Forth and the different locations that were so important during the infamous Battle of Stirling Bridge. We also managed to work on our fitness by climbing the Wallace Trial and not to mention the 246 steps to the top of the tower! We were able to see 10 amazing woodwork sculptures all the way up the trial and got our photo taken with them all. They all marked a different moment in Scottish history and there was lots of information to tell us why these were so important. Thanks to Mrs Bernard who joined us today!

Enjoy the photographs!
