9. Scot’s Inspiration
The huge Wallace statue outside the theater in
Aberdeen stands as a constant reminder of the
independent nature of the Scots. Erected in 1888, it
bears the inscription, allegedly told to Wallace by his
uncle and guardian . . . 'I tell you a truth, liberty is the
best of all things, my son, never live under any slavish
bond'.
It stands as a constant reminder to the
individuality of the Scots and their
turbulent link with their English neighbors.
Since further integration with the rest of
Europe may be the future for Scotland, the
importance of maintaining that identity is
as important today as at the time of 'The
Wallace.

10. No person is your friend who
demands your silence, or denies
your right to grow.” ― Alice Walker
