Damage at Wallaces Well
A few days ago I was driving past Wallaces Well, when I noticed this damage,which took place recently.
Since 2003, two large housing developments have been constructed near the well, bringing a huge increase in car traffic. In the absence of proper signposting – or any effective traffic calming measures – the wall around the well has been repeatedly hit by vehicles, resulting in continual damage to the site. The photograph below shows the damage a couple of weeks ago:

Further damage can be viewed at the Robroyston Wallace Monument website on the Wallace's Well page.
As if things weren't bad enough for the well, another huge housing development has been announced which will take dwellings right up to the edge of this historic site, effectively obliterating the last remnants of green space in an area that has been described as being as historically important to Scotland as Bannockburn.
Can you imagine in the US a site of National Historic Importance being treated like this?

Can you imagine condos being built at The Alamo?
