In early 1298, Wallace was proclaimed Guardian of Scotland at the
‘Forest Kyrk’. Tradition and history places this as
Selkirk whose early spellings of Scheleschirche means the Kirk in
the Forest. Selkirk was the capital of Ettrick Forest and the one
place of importance in Scots hands at the time. At this time Wallace
and his band were using Ettrick Forest to harry the English garrisons
holding Roxburgh and Jedburgh Castles.
