Torwood ( Scottish Gaelic: Coille Tor)
Wallace and his Men spent a lot of time in Torwood Forrest
It is recorded that Sheriff Heselrig killed Marionor had her killed, ( Wallaces girlfriend Marion Braidfute, ) to lure Wallace. William Wallace, accompanied by 40 or so of his companions,revenged her death by killing Heselrig and burning the English camp.
They then fled into Torwood forest –from which Wallace and his men fought a guerrilla campaign against the English and recruited more Scots to their cause.
