Leglen Wood, Monument to Willam Wallace & Robert Burns, Auchincruive, Ayrshire, Scotland, UK. A monument to William Wallace and his great admirer Robert Burns is located in the remnant of Leglen Wood on the west side of the Auchencruive/Belston Road, just south of Oswald's Bridge over the River Ayr. The Cairn was erected by The Burns Federation in September 1929. The site was gifted by Mr. John Haddah of Girvan Mains and the costs covered by the Reverend J. C. Higgins, Minister of Tarbolton Parish.
The Inscription on the cairn reads "'WALLACE AND BURNS FOREVER, NEVER, SCOTIAS REALM DESSERT BUT STILL THE PATRIOT AND THE PATRIOT BARD IN BRIGHT SUCCESSION RAISE HER ORNAMENT AND GUARD.' 'SYNE TO THE LEGLEN WOOD WHEN IT WAS LATE TO MAKE A SILENT AND A SAFE RETREAT.'
