The Killing Fields. 1984. Set in Cambodia, very moving. The theme music (Etude From The Killing Fields, Mike Oldfield) haunts me to this day.

I remember when that was on TV. Inspiring stuff.
The farm featured in it is still thriving.

I know from your posts over more than a decade, and that I have always read with interest, that you are very knowledgeable about Scottish history. It amazes me that you should write such drivel. Sorry, but that is what it is.
Isabella was born in 1295, exact date apparently not recorded, but she was reared in France. Wallace was active at a higher level for about a year - Stirling Bridge September 1297 and Falkirk July 1298. A little bit of memory here - but according to the film and between the two battles (?) she was supposed to be already married to the future Edward II, travel (to France?), from England, to meet with Wallace to sue for peace, and then have an affair with him. When she was 2, possibly 3 years old!!!!!!!!!!! She was only 9 possibly 10 when Wallace was captured and executed. She did not marry until after his death, and whilst still living in France.
As for the "tainting" comment - you must be aware that Longshanks' son was to marry the Maid of Norway. Various marriages, or proposed marriages, between Royal houses were the norm; as was in later years marriages between the Clans. The ultimate result of course was James VI also becoming King of England. In that way Scotland took over the English throne. Unfortunately that did not last too long.
Edward II was not much of a success anywhere. I acknowledge that his father was not known as the "Hammer of Scotland" for nothing, but he did what Kings did. On the other hand Isabella ousted her husband from the throne and acted as Regent for the boy who became Edward III. Her first child was born long after Wallace was dead.

The moon and the sledgehammer, documentary/ film 1971 I think. Not strictly farming but a eccentric family living in the woods with no mains water or electric. They spend most of the time playing around on old steam engines at such a time they weren't really worth anything
