Yes, William Wallace.... a man who was FAITHFUL to his wife... and to SCOTLAND. Let us put him on our coins.
Then we will be remembering a BRAVE HEART .. not
a BROKEN HEART...which is what Burns' wife must have experienced.

I love both William Wallace and Robert Burns. A Burns coin is a good start but let's not forget William Wallace much less the Brus. Each is worthy of a coin regardless if they went to bed with a book and a glass of wine or a lover and a glass of wine. It is what they did for the people of Scotland that counts!
