Funny you should say that. All I spoke to about it hated it, because of all of the liberties that took with the facts. The statue of Wallace which was added to the base of the trail which leads to the Wallace Monument has also caused problems. It looks like Mel! When we were over for our wedding I have a picture of it, and I guess shortly after it was put behind a cage (irony) to protect it from backlash, and it's now for sale because no one wants it there.

I saw the thing in 2003. It does look like Mel and I'm glad it's for sale and leaving.

The cage was gone when I was there... but perhaps the blue thing behind the statue is a part of it? I made an inset to this photo so that you can better see the face of William... or Mel... or whoever it is.

Maybe they put the cage around at night when the car park will be deserted! 
Otherwise why keep the blue cage thing close to the "statue."?

Well it's there or the bathroom, and I think I'd get stage-fright with Mel watching me while I'm going.
