 With such an environment and such friends, is it necessary to say that our character is quite strong and that we are made just as human beings of Scotland.

   An ancestor with ...William Wallace!!

Scotsmen had to fight a lot in the past, mainly for their independance. It's a recent fact that Scotland has its own parliament, with limited power.

William Wallace was one of the first scotman to raise an army against english  domination and you can see a monument dedicated to his glory

  William Wallace's monument

This monument is close from the castle of Stirling, the place where William Wallace had his first victory against Edward "Longshanks" :

"The trouble with Scotland is that it is full of scots"
