Dr. Fiona Watson in "A Report into Sir William Wallace's connections with Ayrshire" (1999) for East Ayrshire Council, reassessed the early life of William Wallace.

So why aren't we making a song and dance about the fact?

The greatest hero of Scotland came from here!!!!
A wee monument, a statue, a road sign pointing to Castle William, anything.
