Sir William Wallace
The motion
That the Parliament recognises the historic significance of the contribution of Sir William Wallace in fighting against the English occupation of Scotland and securing international recognition of the right of Scotland to exist as an independent nation; further recognises that Wallace's example, heroism and devotion continue to be an inspiration to those Scots who seek the restoration of Scotland’s independence, and calls on the Scottish Executive to ensure that the Saltire of Scotland is flown at half mast from every public building in Scotland on 23 August 2005 in remembrance of William Wallace, who was kidnapped from Scotland and murdered in London on 23 August 1305.
