The locals loathed it. Apparently it used to be quite the thing for drunken uni types to decorate it.

the geniuses at Stirling responded by…putting a GIANT CAGE around it to prevent further vandalism.
this succeeded in pissing off everyone not already pissed off by it, because it now looked like a monument…commemorating Wallace’s execution by the English.

Consequently the statue has now been removed from Stirling and is now in hiding somewhere off in the depths of Scotland.

I would have liked to see it in person and hang a sign on it reading “Noted American Bigot and Misogynist” myself. /

Congrats on the job! How are you?

This one looks much better:
