Learn all about the turbulent events leading up to the Battle of Stirling Bridge and become one of the observers at Wallace's trial in London as you step into a re-creation of Westminster Hall.
Listen to the unique talking head of Sir William telling his own story and speaking with other key figures from the Wars of independence - including Robert the Bruce.
