Below the statue of Wallace, as part of the same construction by John Smith is a smaller statue of a funeral style urn inscribed as follows:
Sacred to the memory of Wallace The peerless Knight of Ellerslie ()
Who wav'd on Ayr's Romantic shore
The beamy torch of Liberty
And roaming round from Sea to Sea
From Glade obscure of gloomy Rock
His bold companions call'd to free
The Realm from Edward's Iron Yoke.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/71817/details/dryburgh+wallace+s+statue+and+ornamental+urn/ )〕
