SIR WILLIAM WALLACE

South Ayrshire Council is set to honour the memory of Sir William Wallace in a wreath-laying tribute to take place in Ayr on the date of anniversary of the Scottish hero’s death.

Said Councillor David Duncan, Depute Leader of South Ayrshire Council: “Preparations are in hand for a wreath-laying ceremony to take place in Ayr High Street on Tuesday, August 23.

“The tribute will be led by the Provost of South Ayrshire Council Gordon McKenzie.

“This is scheduled to take place at 11 am at the Wallace Tower, from which the Saltire Flag will be flying.”

A piper is expected to lead the way as representatives of the Council walk down Newmarket Street, acknowledge the statue of Sir William Wallace, then walk up High Street to the Wallace Tower.
