Good, old-fashioned "American" movie, all the way. Ya gotta cheer for
the under-dog, right? Scottish? hardly.

Of course, the best bit of the Wikipedia article is:

"In 1997 a statue of Gibson as "William Wallace" was placed in the car-park
of the Wallace Monument near Stirling, Scotland. The statue, which includes
the word "Braveheart" on Wallace's shield, was the cause of much controversy
and one local resident stated that it was wrong to "desecrate the main
memorial to Wallace with a lump of crap". In 1998 the statue was vandalised
by someone who smashed the face in with a hammer. After repairs were made,
the statue was encased in a cage at night to prevent further vandalism. This
has only incited more calls for the statue to be removed as it now appears
that the Gibson/Wallace figure is imprisoned; an irony, considering that the
statue bears the word "Freedom" on the plinth."
