Description

In this episode, we dive deep into the history and folklore attached to The Wallace Putting Stone & Plinth in Sheriffmuir, Scotland. Dating back to 1297, this stone is the very object that William Wallace used to train with and display his heroic power. 

I am joined by none other than Jamie Gorrian (@bigsexygrandad101) from Alloa, Scotland. Jamie was prominently featured in Maximum Iron’s documentary titled Stones: The Rise, Fall, and Rise of Scottish Stonelifting. He also single handedly repositioned The Wallace Plinth and recreated the Arc of the Seven Stanes; a site mentioned in the Dunblane Traditions by John Monteath in 1887.

Join us as we delve into the backstory of William Wallace and also explore the events surrounding the Battle of Stirling Bridge. Jamie also shares a well known story about a local stone mason that wanted to lift The Wallace Putting Stone and how he achieved his goal. All of this and more awaits, so sit back and enjoy as we have at it discussing all things WALLACE STONES!
