Over the weekend, Scottish football club – home of Glebe Park – unveiled the statue of Scottish hero William Wallace. Wallace was played by Mel Gibbons in the hit film Braveheart.
The club shared an image of the artwork on Twitter, writing: “We were delighted to host the unveiling of the Braveheart statue yesterday afternoon at its new home in Glebe Park.
“It was great to see the community of all ages come out in numbers to support the event.”
But the statue has sparked derision on Twitter, with some comparing it to a “sex doll.”
Freelance writer Kate Bevan tweeted: “Seriously, fund the statues. All the statues.
One person commented: “William Wallace definitely wasn’t wearing a kilt.
“This statue is about as true to the story as Braveheart.”
While others have compared this statue to the bust of Ronaldo.
Someone else wrote, “So a statue that shows the decapitated head of an Englishman is fine then.”
“I guess this one won’t be dragged down. “
Others defended the statue with a person saying, “Hi Kate, can we see the statue you made?
“Or really, any artistic thing you’ve created?” “
This is the fourth time the statue has been unveiled across Scotland.
Stonemason Tom Church took five months to create the statue in 1996 as part of therapy following open heart surgery.
Meanwhile, a third wrote, “I’m glad you’re here and glad you’re safe, and I hope things get richer and fuller for you. Welcome!”
