  • Cambuskenneth Abbey is a ruined Augustinian monastery located on an area of land enclosed by a meander of the River Forth near Stirling in Scotland. The abbey is largely reduced to its foundations.
    “Cambuskenneth Abbey was one of the most important places in the kingdom, and that means there would have been a network of fords, harbours, wharfs and roads and a steady stream of the richest people in Scotland coming through. There is so much still to discover.”

    Absolutely amazing! Inside the Abbey is nothing short of a medieval masterpice in masonry building. There is also graffiti carved into the walls that date back to the early 13th century. It's a really spectacular place to visit. It's difficult to see the "VV" that's carved into the stone...but its there (no "W" in Latin, the letter V made the W sound).

    I read William Wallace's body was dismembered and parts of his body was sent to several different places. How could he have a burial site? Unless it's just symbolic.

      Wallace’s uncle (his mother’s brother) was the priest of Dunipace, a village a few short miles from Stirling. He undoubtedly knew the monks of Cambuskenneth well, and would have been a frequent visitor. Following Wallace’s judicial murder in London, his head was spiked on London Bridge, and the 4 quarters of his body sent to be displayed in Berwick, Newcastle, St Johnstoun of Perth, and Stirling. His left arm and upper body was nailed to the recently rebuilt Stirling Bridge. The “triple death” he suffered from hanging, drawing and quartering was a vicious invention of the English of the day, designed to prevent resurrection and thus deny the sufferer an afterlife - grim indeed in the days when one’s immortal soul was felt to be the most precious thing one possessed. The monks in Cambuskenneth knew Wallace’s uncle, and may indeed have met Wallace himself during the period of his Stirling Bridge triumph. So they decided that at least one part of Scotland’s hero would receive a decent Christian burial.
      The local legend states that the monks crept out of the Abbey one dark night and retrieved Wallace’s remains. These were then buried with due ceremony within the confines of the Abbey, the arm outstretched towards the Abbey Craig, scene of his greatest victory. A small stone, unmarked save for “WW” was placed over the remains, and the monks sworn to secrecy. A nice little story, and one which has been handed down locally for centuries.

      He was beheaded and his body chopped into 4, right arm with a bit of torso, left arm with a bit of torso, right leg with a bit of torso, left leg with a bit of torso, the 4 gruesome parts were displayed in London, Stirling and I'm not sure of the other 2 locations, it is his left arm and torso buried at Cambuskenneth Abbey, the priest recovered the body part from its hook in Stirling and buried it, marking the stones with 2 carved W's for William Wallace.

      St Bartholomew's Hospital - Sir William Wallace
      To the immortal memory of Sir William Wallace, Scottish patriot, born at Elderslie Renfrewshire circa 1270 AD, who from the year 1296 fought dauntlessly in defence of his country's liberty and independence in the face of fearful odds and great hardship, being eventually betrayed and captured. Brought to London and put to death near this spot on the 23rd August 1305.
      His example heroism and devotion inspired those who came after him to win victory from defeat and his memory remains for all time a source of pride, honour and inspiration to his countrymen.
      Dico tibi verum libertas optima rerum nunqual servili sub nexu vivito fili.
      {Latin: I tell you the truth. Freedom is what is best. Sons, never live life like slaves.}
      Bas Agus Buaidh
      {An old Scottish battle-cry in Gaelic: Death and Victory}
      {Below the memorial is a small brass plaque:}
      This memorial was placed here by Scots and friends at home and abroad by kind permission of the governors of St. Bartholomew's Hospital and unveiled on 8th April, 1956.

    So many comments with people being decisively accusing of this being lies and definitively wrong. Stop shitting on everyone else's party😂 No, there is no evidence to support any part of him was buried there, nor was there any evidence he married, fell in love or that the word "Freedom" was his final word. These events took place over 700 years ago. It is a legend, a story told to give justice to a historic hero rather than believing his body parts were simply lost or horribly disposed of - and for all we know it could be true. I've seen articles online (I know the internet is not trustworthy, I'm just saying) and my mother had told me stories of it growing up. That's the whole point, you get to choose whether you believe it or not.

    Those who were executed for treason were quartered ( 4 parts )
    The parts were then dipped in tar to slow decomposition. The head of Wallace and his body parts were displayed at city gates across England and Scotland.
    After a while they would have been thrown in a river or rubbish heap. I doubt if any were given a decent burial given that Scotland was still under English control.
