The warrior knight William Wallace is one of Scotland's great national heroes. He is remembered as the man who beat the English and inspired Scottish resistance to King Edward I. But how accurate is the common retelling of his life? Who was the real William Wallace?
Dan is joined by Dauvit Broun, professor of Scottish history at the University of Glasgow, to learn more about the man behind the myth.
Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.
