The Wallace Stone at Airdrie

The Wallace Stone, Airdrie

Legend set in 1298

Stones on which Wallace sharpened his sword, rested or left handprints are common across central and southern Scotland, and there is no record that he passed through Airdrie on the way to Falkirk. The pin is set on the town, since the article does not give the stone's exact position.
