The Wallace Monument did not change in a century. September 1990.

There are various statues of William Wallace, but this structure is known as the Wallace Monument.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called ANYTHING GOES SCOTLAND,VINTAGE PHOTOS,POSTCARDS,EPHEMERAetc..., and we'd love to have this added to the group!

It's a particle cannon.

Yes! Wallace Monument seems clearer, especially as it appears in the lower left corner. Thanks, all!

For Wallace, see

We have seen General Emilio Guglielmotti (1863-1932), then Military Attache at the Italian Embassy in Washington, when he visited New York with the Italian War Commission in June, 1917:

LOC, the official note for this 1919 picture is wrong, and was intended for the 1917 photo linked just above.

Headline on his NYT obit of December 1, 1932: GEN. GUGLIELMOTTI OF ITALY DIES AT 66; Won Fame as Commander of a Bersaglieri Brigade on the Corso Front. IN U. S. WITH WAR MISSION Served in Several CampaignsHelped Organize the Fascist Workers In Recent Years. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=990CE2DF1F31E333A...

Thanks Art Siegel. We will change the date to 1919.

These old pictures are just amazing.

Thanks, stephenbuchan. Will investigate and update catalog record as appropriate to reflect identification as Wallace Monument.

I grew up a short walk away from the Wallace Monument and this picture confuses me. The Abby Craig is steep and there is no lake/pool close by. This photo, if it is a photo, was taken half way up a steep hill so, even if it was drained when they build the road, I don't see how such a pool could exist at all.
