The Wallace Monument Above a Sea of Clouds

Europe, Scotland, Stirlingshire, the National Wallace Monument sits on the hill of Abbey Craig surrounded by trees in fall colors lit up by the early morning sunshine, with a low fog clinging to the forth valley floor beyond and in the distance Stirling Castle emerging through the layer of fog.

It commemorates Sir William Wallace, the 13th-century Scottish hero who played a significant role in the Wars of Scottish Independence.
