caption_attribution_description: English: Abbey Craig Crags on the hill that carries Stirling's favourite eyesore - the statue of Wallace. (The monument is a bit of a blot on the landscape too mind). The loose rock of these crags is prone to fall on the road below, which is protected by netting, barriers and a ban on climbing.
context_page_description: The Abbey Craig is the hill upon which the Wallace Monument stands, at Causewayhead, just to the north of Stirling, Scotland.
context_section_description: The Abbey Craig is part of a complex quartz-dolerite intrusion or sill within carboniferous strata, at the western edge of the Central Coal Field, known as the Stirling Sill. 
  The quartz-dolerite, being much harder than the surrounding coal measures, has been exposed due to erosion, including by glaciation. The characteristic crag and tail shape of the crag reflects this glacial shaping.
