On the plus side, local yobs vandalising the statue can only be an improvement.

Isn’t someone on the forum their official photographer? Derek W I think.

Wow, They look so proud of it too!
Ok why did they want the statue
Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom!
Maybe they should have depicted him armed with an AR15 and with the 2nd Amendment printed on his T-shirt. That would be about as historically accurate as the way William Wallace is usually depicted, so it shouldn't be an issue.
I have some bad news for you if this is how your parents looked when "proud" of you

This is true. Scots seem to revere him when not many actually know that much about him. The truth is, he was an evil savage and an out and out terrorist. A freedom fighter in the same way as Al-Qeada call themselves freedom fighters.
Yep, almost certainly took the pics in the tweet, penny for your thoughts on this @Derek W
Sadly I stepped down just prior to covid as I was too busy to continue photographic duties so unfortunately that's not one of my photos
In terms of vandalism it should be safe enough there as it's within the grounds so won't suffer as much as it did when it was in Stirling. The guy who made the statue is from brechin so as he's retiring / downsizing his studio he didn't have room for his 13ft statue so donated it to the club. Its depiction of Mel Gibson has certainly upset the Wallace traditionalists but I'll agree it's a bizarre choice to have at the ground!

Tbf, it’s still not as crazy as Al Fayed putting a statue of Michael Jackson outside Craven Cottage
WTF was that one all about?!

lol @ anyone that even read the article.
The carver literally made it as a depiction of Mel Gibson from Braveheart as following his pretty invasive surgery, he said the film gave him the will to live.

Weird. I thought the film made most people that watched it wish they were dead.
