Yes, as a Scotsman and one of Wallace's descendants I entirely agree-when it comes down to it, being hung or hanged drawn and quartered in the long run makes very little difference, though I have come across instances in ENGLISH literature where they actually HANGED, DREW AND QUARTERED VICTIMS, which was presumably a little less painful.
