: Hi,

: I was sitting eating dinner when an interesting item come on the news - the tract of land, just outside Glasgow, where William Wallace was captured, prior to being taken to London and executed, is about to be cleared and a housing estate built on it (MORE suburbs, dontcha know!). This land is considered a historical site by many, including Clan Wallace and they announced their intentions to raise money to buy the land back, with a view to keeping it exeactly as it is - wild heathland.

: In order to raise the money, they are to be holding an Auction of various props used in the films 'Braveheart' and 'Gladiator', in both of which Clan Wallace Trust Re-enactors took part in the many battle scenes. This Auction is being greatly supported by the various leading actors, directors and various other executives, of both films. A sword from 'Braveheart' was sold recently, for over £10,000.00 and the Trust expects that these props (including a full set of 'William Wallace's body armour - that sexy brown padded number, with kilt and 'plaidie'!) will reach 'fabulous sums' and should more than cover the cost of buying this land. I believe this Auction is scheduled for May.

: I thought I might check and see if there was a list of items up for sale and though I haven't found it YET, I did find this page that I thought all lovers of the two films, might enjoy reading... particularly, the MacWilliams boys - if ever a Company was proud of their heritage...!! :o)

: Anyway, the URL is (sorry I can't link it!):

: Enjoy!!

For those interested, I've FOUND IT! If you go to the MacBraveheart Home page, from the page above, you will see that there is now a Bulletin concerning the Auction - they will be 'posting' details soon.

It COULD be interesting...
