Sailor and the Ruined Castle, Con't


fishing village


As he leaned, a growing awareness of where he needed to be was breaking through the cloudiness of his mind and with it an imperative to reach the ruined castle. Sailor abruptly remembered the 'something' that lived in that place and a possible reason why no one ever passed that way. Though he still couldn't reason it out he knew instinctively that the answers were to be found inside those crumbling walls. Sailor needed to know what was happening to him and the reason for it; the ruined castle had always seemed to be the focal point for his life ~ he was born there, the place called to him, it was familiar and had always conveyed the feeling of a much missed and much sought after home to him. Why? What was it about that castle that compelled him to stay near it? Sailor simply had to find out. To the castle he would go, his exhausted mind told him.

William Wallace, A Commoner, Unites The 13th Century Scots In Their Battle To Overthrow English Rule.

Braveheart, a 1995 movie with director Mel Gibson and starring Mel as William Wallace.  A must see for period buff's like me.

The storyline's about William Wallace, a Scottish rebel who leads an uprising against the cruel English ruler Edward the Longshanks who wishes to inherit the crown of Scotland for himself. When he was a young boy William's father and brother, along with many others, lost their lives trying to free Scotland. Once he loses another of his loved ones, Wallace begins his long quest to make Scotland free once and for all, with the assistance of Robert the Bruce. Fascinating part of Scotland's history. Why am I going on about it? 

Its a great movie and a great name for my nephew, Dietrich Wiebe's cat - I give you... Sir Wallace:

Sir Wallace, cat
Dietrich bought him for $50, his former owner told him there was something unusal about him; can you see it?
