I appear to have joined the Wallace Society.
First thing I did was buy the book For Freedom: The Last Days of William Wallace. Sat down to read a chapter, and when I put it down I was halfway through it. Great read.
The thing that makes this whole episode remarkable is that I was never one for history when I was at school. This is possibly down to the fact that despite being Scottish and living in Scotland, all the history lessons were based on English history - battle of Hastings, The Great Plague, Fire of London etc.
So, here's to reading some non-fiction for a change.
