Isn't the blue face paint a bit right wing? Shouldn't it be red?
The image above got me to remembering... Is it true that the daft scots errected a statue of Mel Gibson to celebrate some film or other?

Well. Kinda. One chap decided to make a statue of William Wallace, and figured he might as well make him look like Mel Gibson, since pictures of the real Wallace vary quite a lot. Then he leased it to Stirling council (for a nominal sum IIRC) who put it up near the Wallace Monument. But it's gone now, and no bugger'll buy it.
I think he was probably trying to cash in on the film, rather than trying to celebrate William Wallace. Rubbish statue either way.
Is the statue not in a car park just along from where some of the scenes in the movie were filmed?
Last I heard, he'd fitted it at his workshop because not even Donald Trump wanted it.
I bet Gibson's well chuffed with that statue.
Class. Nowt like using the likeness of an alcoholic, misogynistic antisemite to depict one of your historic figures 🙂
It looks like Mel Gibson with a rod stuck up his arse.

you're just jealous..

More like he'd just found a handle sticking out of his arse and pulled quite hard.

Would that stop him making more films? or improve his acting?
Druidh, it'll be in Ireland then if that is the case...

I worked in an Edinburgh Woollen Mill shop In York when I was a teen. I was asked all these seriously by Yanks:
Does it feel strange that your city is not under Scottish rule anymore?
Are you descendant of one of the families that laid siege to York will William Wallace??
Why isn't there a statue of William Wallace to be seen to show his achievement?
Is the Minster pre-war??
