National Wallace Monument

I had a little bit of free time this afternoon while Jenni was skating, and so I drove towards Cambuskenneth to snap this pic of the National Wallace Monument.

Sitting atop a lump of quartz dolerite rock that glaciation failed to move, the Monument was built between 1861 and 1869. It cost twice its original estimate to buld, thus setting a precendent for Scottish public works that survives to this day.
