Have you done it?

ENTRANCE TO THE WALLACE TUNNEL

Standing guard at the southern entrance of the Wallace Tunnel is a 30 foot bronze statue of William Wallace, placed there not for decoration, but as a final reminder that once you enter, you are committed.

Before attempting the crossing, drivers are advised to ensure they have everything they need, including a full tank of fuel, snacks, patience, and at least one passenger willing to say “it’ll be fine” with confidence.

The Wallace Tunnel is an extraordinary feat of engineering, running 104 miles beneath the Scottish Highlands and emerging near John o’ Groats. The route reduces the traditional 5½ hour drive north to just 3 hours, with approximately 1½ hours spent entirely underground.

However, this journey is not recommended for inexperienced drivers. There are no exits, no phone signal, and no opportunities to turn around. Those who enter simply continue north until the tunnel opens up again at the northern end.

Over the years, several motorists have been reported as “lost within the tunnel,” with their vehicles never recovered. Officials insist this is due to navigation errors, despite the road being entirely straight.

In recent years, rumours have circulated of an underground Wallace Monster, said to roam the deeper sections of the tunnel, feeding on breakdown recovery vans and loose hubcaps. Authorities stress there is no evidence of such a creature.

This, of course, contrasts sharply with Nessie, who was conclusively proven real earlier this year and has since asked to be left alone.
Drivers are reminded, Once Wallace is behind you, there is no going back.

Now managed by the National Trust

The Iron Bridge in Shropshire, completed in 1779, was the world's first major bridge made of cast iron.

The structure was a powerful symbol of the Industrial Revolution. The bridge's success gave its name to the surrounding area, now the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site, and ushered in a new era of iron construction across the globe.
