The Society is a non-political organisation dedicated to upholding the memory of Scotland’s great patriotic hero, Sir William Wallace, and we maintain the principles that Wallace himself held so dear - principles for which Wallace was willing to give up his life. Wallace put the freedom of his country and people above all else in life, and the members of the Society seek to emulate these ideals, Scotland’s freedom being paramount in our aims. But people join the Society for many reasons, and we welcome people of all creeds and nationalities, many of whom join as they can relate to the basic right of each nation to self-governance, and understand Wallace’s love for his native soil.
