Editing Blind Harry (section)

===Wallace folklore===
Blind Harry mentions a number of battles or skirmishes fought by Wallace which are now regarded by historians as unhistorical.  These battles are sometimes referenced as historical events by accounts which do not cross-check the stories in ''Acts and Deeds'' against another source.  Dubious battles include the "Battle of [[Loudoun Hill]]" in 1296, the "Battle of [[Biggar, South Lanarkshire|Biggar]]" in 1297, and possibly also the "Battle of Elcho Park". In the case of the folkloric Battle of Loudoun Hill, later [[enthusiast]]s have erected a monument to Wallace at the site. (The folkloric battle should not be confused with the genuine [[Battle of Loudoun Hill]] fought by [[Robert the Bruce]].) Similarly, the story of a [[Barns of Ayr|mass hanging of Scots nobles]] at Ayr is described by Blind Harry, and is repeated in a number of places, including the film ''[[Braveheart]]'', but is now regarded as unhistorical.
