The actual sword, (assuming it exists), or a replica? Because the real one, (again, assuming), belongs in a museum in Scotland.

There we go.
Deb, did you know that Mercedes Smart cars can be colour coded. They're black or silver with some panels coloured, and those panels can be removed and replaced within a few minutes. So, if you want a blue car today but a red one tomorrow, you just need to buy the spare panels. Crazy how well they know you ladies, eh? The only problem is the car is but ugly, only 3m long and 3m wide, and had a mini put-put engine. gimmee a second.

Then I could do anything and go anywhere and go see everyone and I could pay for a couple of rounds at the bar.
Well I'm coming back to earth now. Yuck!

I second that and third it even
With that most important detail -- MONEY -- I could retire from the combat zone, move to my beach somewhere warm and open my bar. Then I could say, "The drinks are on the house to Celtic Radio!!"

OldRaven I didn't know they could do that with the panels in the Mercedez. Awesome. Now if I could afford the car, it would be sweet!
Also Wallace's sword is in the Museum in Sterling Castle. I have a wonderful low light picture I took of it. It's rather plain by today's standards. But look what it represents.
Well, they'll be hitting the US in '06, and aren't expensive at all. I mean, how much to you really think they can charge for a two seat sub-sub-compact with a 75hp turbo 3 cylinder.............. oops, wrong thread.
Last time I've seen it, Annabelle, Wallaces sword was in the monument, not the castle. The castle is empty and in the process of having the inside rebuilt. Last time I've been there they were working on a bedroom and a tapestry.
What I want might differ from what others want.. all I want is a hug from time to time and someone to sleep beside me. That makes me pretty happy.

4 years ago while I was there they had a special exibit showing at the Castle and it had Wallace's Sword there. They told us that it is normally stored in the Wallace Monument and they have placques deplicting his life's story there, but when I saw it, there was a special showing being done at Sterling Castle. The program was for 3 months. I thought it must be showing as those done in Museum's. Sorry for the confusion. A

Hey! I've seen those cars! They use them in Switzerland. They're rented out to drivers who've had their licenses taken away for driving drunk. I think the drivers have to go through a 3-month suspension for their first offense, then are made to drive those things around for all to see for several months. Talk about public exposure of a problem!! It's a pretty effective method of dealing with the problem, too.
And you're right -- those things are absolutely ridiculous looking.
Now---what do I want?? I think I'd like to take my family and re-visit Scotland, Switzerland, and Wales, visit Ireland for the first time, then (imagination running full-tilt here!) find Rivendell and live there. If we can't find Rivendell, then we should move up to the White Mountains and live there. (Okay, back to Reality now...) How 'bout some time in front of a roaring fire with a good book, a drink, and munchies being replenished as needed by adoring family? Someone else to clean the bathrooms!

well, I know it has been out on exhibitions.. I just thought I'd not let anybody mistake the monumen (victorian thing) for the castle (what a great thing!).. I absolutely love the castle, I'm not overly fussed about the monument though.
