No the Wallace clan trust for Scotland is Glasgow based.I don't think the Braveheart Trading Post has anything to do with them.The Wallace people have done a lot of T.V stuff and film stuff and are a registered charity.The original people involved with the Wallace actually made a choice of lifestyle as in plaiding up and staying plaided up,researching,and attempting to create modern equivalents of,historical ways of life in order to let people experience more closely the day to day life of their ancestors.They spent a lot of time on the land and would arrange excursions to the hills for unemployed people,doing music and dance,claymore and spear training,horse riding,even teaching basic Gaelic and so on most of the people I knew who were involved were very committed to it.
