If you want to read about the history rather than the Hollywood tale,
a scholarly work is 'William Wallace' by Andrew Fisher from
John Donald Publishers Ltd., 138 Stephen Street, Edinburgh, Scotland
at 8.95 pounds plus postage. The Hollywood tale has a large number of
invented storylines and major historical inaccuracies and only has a
passing resemblance to historical fact.
