Biggar

... famed for It's People!

Cadger's Brig, which legend associates with William Braveheart Wallace's espionage activities in the 13th Century. Wallace is just one of the historic figures associated with Biggar.

Historical figures from the time of William Braveheart Wallace have connections with Biggar. Legend tells how one dark night Wallace himself dressed up as a pedlar and crossed Cadger's Brig to spy on the enemy English camp. He is alleged to have achieved a victory within the burgh. One thing is certain - William Wallace was familiar with the surrounding area, having spent a fair amount of his time in Lanark to the West of Biggar.

Bonnie Prince Charlie is another of the Scottish heros associated with Biggar - his army rested in Biggar in 1746.
