Falkirk was the site of William Wallace's last battle in command of the Scots army. On 22nd July 1298 he faced the English army, commanded by Edward I. The Scots were defeated and many thousands were killed. The battle is marked by a monument at Wallacestone, which is named after the stone from which Wallace is reputed to have overseen the battle.
