Wallace memorial
A permanent memorial to Sir William Wallace was unveiled yesterday on the spot where he was chained before being taken to London.
The granite sculpture in the shape of a tree trunk forms the centrepiece of the tribute in Port Glasgow, Inverclyde, where the medieval freedom fighter is said to have been chained up following his capture in August 1305.
The Wallace Oak stood in the grounds of the Holy Family Church until 1992, when it fell in a storm.
