Very steep and narrow stairs to the top but the views when you get there make it totally worthwhile. Totally hideous sculpture of Mel Gibson as "Braveheart" at the bottom - hang your head whoever commissioned this and sculpted it. Otherwise an excellent visitor attraction

Had visited a few times but had never climbed the 246 steps to the top. Took mum and dad so decided to take the plunge and go to the top. Not that keen on spiral stairs but there are three floors between each one so you can have a rest if needed.. Well worth the climb up and the views...

Wallace may have been hung drawn & quartered by the English but the Scots are having the last laugh with the cost admission. Fantastic views from the top of the monument.

The Wallace Monument is located near Stirling. Although there's not much else to see besides the actual Gothic Sandstone Monument I would advise you pay the monument a visit. Be warned though there are over two hundred steps to get to the top viewing point, plus your so close to Stirling you'll be able to visit the monument and Stirling...

much much better than I expected, lovely bus driver friendly staff and fascinating place, well worth all the stairs, which are a little claustrophobic at first but get past the first level and there's windows. View from top spectacular

Stirling Castle & stunning views can be seen from the towering top of this special monument, dedicated to a great national hero...Sir William Wallace! Just hope you have a lot of energy to walk up a 246 step spiral staircase & back down (although there are informative floors to rest at, on the way up or down). One of these...

A MUST if you interested in Scotland´s history and a tremendous place to honor the life of William Wallace - a brave man who fight not for glory or fame.
Don´t miss the brilliant animation on the first level.
The design of this huge tower reminds me always on the movie set of "Lord of the Rings".
If you make...
