Alexander Cloudley, 29 and Katrielle Chan, 21, both from Glasgow, pleaded not guilty to vandalism in Stirling Sheriff Court last week. They allegedly damaged and spray-painted the case holding Wallace of “Braveheart” fame’s sword.

They each face a single charge alleging that, on March 2, they entered the National Wallace Monument and “willfully or recklessly destroyed or damaged property belonging to another” by “repeatedly striking a glass display cabinet with mallets and chisels.”

The activists also allegedly spray-painted the case with “This is Rigged,” the name of their protest group, The Scotsman reported.

The Crown court did not oppose bail for the activists, but it did seek to ban them from entering the city of Stirling, where the Wallace monument is located, except to attend court dates.

Shouldn't someone worthy and mighty enough take the venerable sword out of its display and administer an appropriate penalty to the eco-vandals?

If it’s on CCTV it’s not alleged. What’s striking is that it’s on CCTV, it’s not alleged, and yet they lie. That’s a sure sign of being punk assed. Helluva legacy children...

“Allegedly” when caught on camera?

Awful writing.

Well, I guess I can understand this; All the coal or charcoal used to forge that big old sword must have added as much to ‘Gorebal Warming’ as driving a diesel truck fifty miles.
