The Wallace Way The woodcarving trail is designed to take visitors

on a journey through time to learn more about Stirling’s fascinating history as they ascend the Abbey Craig, the

300ft hill that leads to the famous landmark.

Moments in history, from the ice age through to the building of the Monument itself, are depicted in the

sculptures, which were created by Iain Chalmers.
