Strange that he has records in history proclaiming to be a part of the ellerslie estate and records show that the family had keeps and other castle formations in the kilmarnock district not Paisley.there are no records only hearsay and myth Link to comment

Dons79 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 There’s historical records that shows he’s from the Wallace branch that owned craigie castle, that’s in Kilmarnock not Paisley.there are documented facts he hails from there along with genealogical proof he was from the Wallace’s from ellerslie Link to comment

There are 2 claims both stating he was from 2 different Wallace families.it’s extremely doubtful if we will ever get the answers unless archeology digs up a bit more.in my opinion he’s from Ayrshire as there is at least written,proven, genealogy records pertaining to the one in craigie castle and not Paisley, too many junkies in Paisley ???

Had a peruse through the 3 links and 1 states Paisley and the other 2 state either or and my one states just Ayrshire so inconclusive for the time being, you talk about the history taught at school, many things taught then are completely irrelevant now or twisted, some just flat out wrong, James cook holds a statue in London for the discovery of the north west passage for instance but now more recently found to be Hudson and even John rae after him.but we still got taught cook,cause he was an English aristocrat Link to comment

We won more trophies, but were their results arguably better? Mclean seemed to turn the whole sorry club around whereas Ferguson had a solid foundation, fair to say? I like to think that both Ferguson and mclean had an even begrudging respect for each other as it would be easier for 2 clubs rather than just one to crack the Glasgow 2? Fishing surely?
