About This Image

My first trip to Scotland, I visited Stirling and saw the Wallace Monument from the ramparts of Stirling Castle. I wanted to go and see the monument in this print up close and personal.

As it would turn out, it was already late in the day and I couldn’t seem to get any consensus on the bus to take there. The days are short in Scotland in the winter, so I think it was just as well I headed back to Edinburgh instead. Luckily it was not my last trip to Scotland.

As it turned out, on my second trip to Scotland, the Highland tour I took included a stop right at the William Wallace Monument on Abbey Craig. There was no hunting for the right bus and the weather was actually light-years better. The photo this print was based on was taken early in the morning under the warm golden rays of the winter sun. The 19th century Victorian Gothic architecture of the tower was really soaking in the warm light and as a result truly pops against that blue sky!

The William Wallace monument was built on a hill from which the Scottish patriot,William Wallace is believed to have watched the troops of King Edward I gather before the Battle of Stirling Bridge. Wallace has became well known to modern day Americans due to the motion picture Braveheart.

It’s probably not surprising, but you’ll find that the real William Wallace, a true hero to the Scots even today, bears little resemblance to the Hollywood version. The monument in this print, though, bears out that he’s not only remembered but the stuff of legends.

Have you also had the pleasure of seeing the Wallace Monument on a visit to Stirling? Or are you simply looking for a vibrant artwork to honor your Scots heritage? Or maybe ‘A’ and ‘B’ is your answer?

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
