Despite Wallace's almost mythical status boosted in no small part by the film Braveheart present-day perceptions of him are not always based on the objective analysis of the historical facts. In this revised and expanded biography, Andrew Fisher investigates all the aspects of Wallace's life and character, treating him as a man of his time. The result is a more authentic picture of the greatest of Scotland's heroes than has been previously available.
Andrew Fisherwas archivist to the Duke of Buccleuch at Drumlanrig Castle, where he still lives.
