Sir William Wallace

Photograph at the Sir William Wallace black plaque

Wallace's Well. Near this spot William Wallace is thought to have taken refuge and sustenance whilst fleeing from his enemies (scouts of the King of England) following a visit to St Margaret's shrine in 1303. The site is also pictured and recorded by Mr Patrick Geddes in his 1904 study of Dunfermline and has changed very little since then.
