That the Parliament welcomes the unveiling of a monument dedicated to William Wallace in Port Glasgow; notes that, since 2014, members of The Society of William Wallace have been working to create a monument in honour of the knight, where it is believed he was chained to an oak tree in 1305, before being taken by English troops to London to be hung, drawn and quartered by order of King Edward I of England; understands that the unveiling of the grey granite sculpture in the shape of a tree trunk, which was built where the tree was known to have stood within Holy Family Church’s grounds, was reportedly witnessed by approximately 200 people; further understands that the event involved performances from Alastair McDonald and Ted Christopher, in addition to speeches from dendrochronologist, Dr Coralie Mills and Gary Stewart from The Society of William Wallace; notes that a winning poem by Chei Gallacher has been etched onto the monument, which follows a competition for young people in the area to get involved in the project; understands that people from all over the world, including Italy, Germany, Greece, Sweden, Bulgaria, Canada and the US, tuned in to watch a live stream of the event; commends Cha Halliday, Stuart Duncan, Neil Lochiel and the late Sean Donnelly for setting up the Wallace Oak Project; believes that the monument tells an important story that has been orally passed down over many generations; hopes that the monument can help boost Inverclyde’s tourism offering and encourage people across Inverclyde to engage with its history, and wishes the project all the best going forward as it looks to publicly display parts of what is considered to be the original oak tree, which is currently held in storage.
