Wallace's Cave

"Both Wallace and Bruce, the great heroes of the Scottish War of Independence, were associated with Dumbarton and district. Our information about Wallace, however, is drawn mainly from folk tradition, much of it incorporated in Blind Harry's poem, written almost two centuries after Wallace's time. Blind Harry gives an account of Wallace and his men burning the houses in Dumbarton occupied by English soldiers and afterwards seeking shelter in the Dumbarton Cave before passing on to the Gareloch. Dumbarton Cave was presumably the place now called Wallace's Cave at Havock, formerly known as the Havock Hole..." (Dr I. M. M. MacPhail) Sourced from the Geograph website.
