When Braveheart came onto our screens everybody went mad about it, then they started complaining about the story not being factual. Well lets get the story as close as we can. There's not much evidence, but what there is should be made publicly clear, so that we aren't totally ignorant of someone who was voted "Scotland's Greatest Idol"
I'm not talking about his battles or his death, I'm talking about his family and his early years.
Is it simply that so many people with letters after their names have made those names by giving others (us) the wrong information with definate statements: saying things like "Wallace was born in El********, instead of may have been born in El********". And these facts should stick because........
I'm still picking up books which tell me that Wallaces father was Malcolm, when he told us himself in a letter found in the early 1900's, that his father was Alan. What chance have we got? With everybody out there trying to discover their roots, do you not agree that someone should find out "Scotlands Greatest Hero's" roots as well?

Great idea Stevie
I was just thinking along similar lines after watching a few episodes of Taggart.

There was a book wasn't there- something like 'Taggart's Glasgow, with Mark McManus'? I think i saw it in the oxfam bookshop in Byres Road a while back.
