The Keeper’s Lodge

Originally part of the accommodation provided for the caretaker (who was appointed as the ‘keeper’ when the Monument opened in 1869), The Keeper’s Lodge is an ideal resting spot for any visitors who are unable to climb the stairs within the Monument.

It is free to visit and open during the Monument’s regular Opening Times.

Cold refreshments and snacks are available to purchase and an introductory video tour of the Monument is on display.

Wall Hanging

Embroiderers from across Scotland have re-built The National Wallace Monument using 105 ‘bricks’ to create a stunning 1.8m wall hanging. Each individual ‘brick’ is unique and together they showcase an array of techniques including hand-stitching, machine work, applique, stumpwork (3D) and patchwork.

The finished article was originally unveiled to Embroiderers’ Guild members as part of the Scottish Embroiderers’ Regional Day at Stirling’s Albert Halls on Saturday 21st April 2018. It was specially framed and put on display within The Keeper’s Lodge.

The Ground Floor

Admission tickets can be purchased from the front desk reception located on the ground floor.

There is also a gift shop on the ground floor and in the entrance hall are two important busts – of Charles Rogers and William Burns, the men responsible for building the Monument.
