The Wallace Monument is a tower located near Stirling, Scotland that commemorates the Scottish hero Sir William Wallace. The tower was completed in 1869 and stands on the summit of Abbey Craig, a hill overlooking the fields where the Battle of Stirling Bridge was fought in 1297.

The tower is 67 meters tall and has a viewing platform at the top that offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The monument has several levels that are accessible by stairs, including a Hall of Heroes that displays artifacts related to Scottish heroes and a Wallace Gallery that tells the story of William Wallace's life and legacy.

Visitors to the monument can also explore the surrounding grounds, which include woodland walks and a statue of Wallace's horse, which is said to have carried him into battle. The monument is a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of Scottish national pride, serving as a reminder of the country's rich history and struggle for independence.
