The National Wallace Monument is presenting a programme of special activities throughout this year to mark the 150th Anniversary of the opening of the Monument.
We’re now into the second half of the year (although that’s hard to believe!) – and the busy Summer months of July and August have now started.
During July and August there will be special events and activities taking place every day at the Monument as part of the 150th Anniversary celebrations, and in September we will be marking the actual Anniversary date with the “Wallace Wha Hae” event in the grounds of Wallace High School.
We will have a warm welcome for everyone on that occasion – as we really want to have a family-friendly event, which everybody can enjoy.

Home Energy Scotland – helping families save energy, save money and keep warm and well
Funded by Scottish Government and managed by Energy Saving Trust, Home Energy Scotland is the free, impartial energy advice and information service that is an integral part of Scottish Government’s approach to tackling fuel poverty in Scotland.
Our service aims to help householders, irrespective of affluence or tenure, reduce their energy bills and make their homes warmer, not least as the link between cold, damp homes and health and wellbeing is well documented.
Free and impartial – we do not cold call
Whilst the service we provide is in part delivered by telephone, I would like to stress that Home Energy Scotland is not a call centre. Advisors provide free, impartial energy advice designed to help householders make informed decisions. Home Energy Scotland has no connection with any energy supplier, and does not cold call.
Support we offer includes information about funding and grants available for new boilers, insulation and heating systems to help make homes more efficient. Advisors can see if people are eligible for financial support, benefits and incentives, and advise on shopping around for cheaper energy deals.
We understand that keeping a home warm can be a struggle for many so we are keen to work with locally trusted parties to help build insight and break down barriers to encourage and enable more people to benefit from our service.
Attached are copies of the latest leaflets with the savings and helpful energy tips
