Built between 1862 and 1869, the Wallace Monument on Abbey Craig was designed by J T Rochead. It takes the form of a tower and gatehouse and incorporates distinctive elements of Scottish architecture, including a crown spire, turrets and gunloops. Inside the tower displays describe the achievements of William Wallace and other popular national heroes.
