On the Trail of William Wallace offers a refreshing insight into the life and heritage of the great Scots hero whose proud story is at the very heart of what it means to be Scottish, and whose effect on the ordinary Scot through the ages is manifest in the many sites where his memory is marked. 74 places to visit in Scotland and the north of England One general map and three location maps Stirling Bridge and Falkirk battle plans Wallace's route through London Wallace connections in North America and elsewhere Reproductions of rarely seen illustrations In trying to piece together the jigsaw of the reality of Wallace's life, David R. Ross weaves a subtle flow of new information with his own observations. His engaging, thoughtful and at times amusing narrative reads with the ease of a historical novel, complete with all the intrigue, treachery and romance required to hold the attention of the casual reader and still entice the more knowledgeable historian. An encyclopaedia-cum-guidebook, this book is stuffed with fascinating titbits not usually on offer in the conventional history book. It will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in Scotland, from the passing tourist to the most fervent nationalist.

David Ross lives in East Kilbride. A keen motorcyclist and amateur historian, for years he has spent every free moment visiting historic sites, battlefields and castles, travelling everywhere by bike. He has immersed himself in finding out as much as he can about great Scottish heroes.
