1970 – This project was the main reason the Society was formed in 1966 – to raise funds to purchase six bronze (colored) plates to complete the Wallace Monument in Elderslie.
The project would have failed if we would not have had the support of Dewitt Wallace; founder of Reader’s Digest, and Candacraig, the last landed Wallace Laird in Scotland. Thanks to them and the founders, these plates were installed to complete the Wallace Monument in Elderslie in 1970.
