    I was under the impression that George Square was already drowning in statues and holds the record for the most statues in a public place in Scotland.

    Why should this be the most appropriate place? Why not Stirling?

    Just want to know.

    #26. At least they are honest about their numbers unlike some of these on line petitions for bizarre causes which claim to have over 200,000 signatures. I think tney need to get this linked to a lot more websites and forums. I'm probably biased but I always consider the best Wallace statue to be the one at Bemersyde here in the Scottish Borders.

    Why shouldn't it be appropriate? What could be more appropriate than a city in Scotland honoring Scots heroes? If this is inappropriate, then how appropriate is a statue of Queen Victoria or Prince Albert in that same location? If you are not interested in supporting the idea, then don't sign. Easy-peasy, right?

    The Stirling area already commemorates Wallace (the Wallace Monument) and Bruce (the Bannockburn Monument).

    The reason for the short list of names is that the petition is brandy-new. It was just started this morning.

    I see the paint has been refreshed on the shield.

    I'm partial to the statue at the Wallace Monument, myself -

    If I could ever locate a straight-on image of this statue, I would immediately visit my tattoo artist.

    By all means, if anyone has a site or forum where they would like to promote this petition, feel free to post the URL there.
