	Isthmus 1152 x 864 169K	Another monochrome treatment of the same subject, but this time the camera is zoomed in on the narrow neck of land which prevents Queenshaugh from becoming an island. Its island status wouldn't last of course - an oxbow lake would form.
	Castle from Wallace Monument 1152 x 864 133K	Part of the monument in the foreground matches the curvature of the meandering Forth in the middle distance, whilst further away Stirling Castle sits atop the classic 'crag and tail' created by a glacier. Edinburgh Castle sits on a similar geological feature.
	Wallace o3 1152 x 864 301K	As well as the statue and crest, this view of the monument shows the spiral staircase on the left of the building, and the stonework above the stairs leading up to it from the entrance. This is a most attractive building, with some innovative ideas. Edinburgh's Scott Monument is very symmetrical in comparison.
	Wallace 05 1152 x 864 253K	The camera is tilted higher up and is zoomed in to reveal the detailed stonework. This is, in my opinion, an exquisite building that Scots can all be proud of.
	Wallace 06 1024 x 1365 342K	This is a large image showing most of the tower from close up. You won't be able to display this image actual-size on a normal monitor. You'll have to scroll up and down to see all of it. Try clicking your mouse's wheel if it's got one. (You may print single pictures for personal use only. None must be sold. )
	Wallace 07 1024 x 1321 220K	From further away we can see more of the magnificent structure. The building in the foreground is actually part of the whole monument and houses a café. If you've already climbed up Abbey Craig then you'd be well advised to rest here a while before climbing up those 246 steps. Again, this is a large image - but its filesize is smaller because more sky is visible, hence less detail to be compressed in JPEG format. (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
	Wallace 08 1152 x 864 177K	This shot shows more detail of the top of the monument. There's a visitor admiring the view from above, and his presence gives an idea of the scale of the building. This is the last picture in this sequence.
	Cemetery 3 1152 x 864 223K	Back in Stirling again where the sunshine has burned the mist away. This is Ladies' Rock, the vantage point used for the second image on page 3. The bench on top of the rock dates from more recent times.
