Archaeologists may have found William Wallace’s hidden fortress
“Could the fort really have been built by Wallace and his men? I’d like to
think so.”

William Wallace, the Scottish knight who emerged as a military leader during
the First War of Scottish Independence in the late 13th century, has become a
household name thanks to Mel Gibson's blockbuster film Braveheart, which
celebrates its 25th anniversary this month. Wallace's rebellion began with
the murder of the High Sheriff of Lanark in May 1297, and he conducted
several successful raids before achieving a stunning upset victory against
English troops at the Battle of Stirling Bridge. He was particularly known
for his strategic use of terrain, and legend holds that he conducted at least
one raid from a hidden fort somewhere in the vicinity of Dumfriesshire.
苏格兰骑士威廉·华勒斯（William Wallace）在13世纪后期的苏格兰独立战争期间成为
军事领袖，由于梅尔·吉勃逊（Mel Gibson）的《勇敢的心》（Braveheart），成为家喻
户晓的名字。华莱士的叛乱始于1297年5月，他进行了几次成功的突袭，然后在斯特林桥
战役中击败英军，取得令人震惊的胜利。他以对地形的战略用途而闻名，传说他在
邓弗里斯郡附近的一个隐蔽堡垒进行了至少一次突袭。
There is mention of the fort in The New Statistical Account of Scotland
(published between 1834 and 1845). It said the fort adjoined a glade called
Torlinn, commanded "an extensive view of the south," and was protected on
three sides by two branches of a steep ravine and a large ditch. In 1297,
Wallace supposedly holed up in the fort with 16 men, "with whom he sallied
forth to annoy the English garrison under Greystock and Sir Hugh of Moreland."
在《苏格兰新统计资料》（1834年至1845年间出版）中提到了堡垒。它说，该堡垒毗邻一
个名为托林的林间空地，被描述“向南眺望”，并在三个侧面受到陡峭的山沟和一个大沟
渠的两个分支的保护。1297年，据说华勒斯与16个人一起闯入了堡垒，“他与他们一同发
动骚扰。
Now Forestry Journal has announced that archaeologists may have discovered
the site of Wallace's hidden fort. Matt Ritchie is an archaeologist with
Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS), who has been working with an organization
called Skyscape Survey to develop a drone-based method to conduct
photogrammetric surveys. This involves using remote-controlled drones to take
hundreds of photographs from the air, then stitching them together with the
help of point-matching software.
考古学家可能已经发现了华勒斯的秘密要塞。马特·里奇（Matt Ritchie）是苏格兰林业
与土地局（FLS）的一名考古学家，他一直在与一家名为“ 天空景象调查”的组织合作，
开发基于无人机的方法来进行摄影测量。这涉及使用遥控无人机从空中拍摄数百张照片，
然后借助匹配软件将它们接合在一起。
The resulting 3D terrain model is free of scrub and ground vegetation,
according to Ritchie, and also has highly refined details about heights. “It
’s a fascinating and revealing technique that really begins to open up the
landscape, and this seemed like an ideal site to investigate," said Ritchie
of the choice to map the Dumfriesshire site believed to be the location of
Wallace's hidden fort. "There isn’t much evidence on the surface, but the
rampart and topography matches the historic description very well. Our new 3D
model enables the massive rampart of the fort to really stand out, and the
deep gullies of the two linns to be appreciated.”
根据Ritchie的说法，生成的3D地形模型没有灌木丛和地面植被，并且具有高度精确的细
节。“这是一种引人入胜且令人着迷的技术，它的确景观开阔，这似乎是一个理想的
调查地点，” 选择在邓弗里斯郡遗址上作图的里奇说，他被认为是华勒斯的秘密要塞
所在地。表面上没有太多证据，但是城墙和地形与历史描述非常吻合。我们新的3D模型使
堡垒的巨大城墙真正脱颖而出。

威廉华勒斯(1272-1305)
苏格兰贵族，早年经历不详，但可知的是他有受过良好教育，精通法语与武艺。据传说，
他的父亲在英格兰征服时被害，让他愤而聚众杀死当地治安官起义，形成一个以亲族为中
心的反抗组织。
1298的斯特林桥大捷是其军事成就的高峰，他善用地形与长戟大斧痛击来犯的英格兰骑士
。但随即在隔年爱德华亲征的福尔克战役遭到决定性惨败。
此后，威廉华勒斯转向游击战，但仍然于1305年在罗伯伊斯顿被英军所俘虏，并被送往伦
敦以叛国罪名处以凌迟与车裂。
