Blind Harry's words were made more accessible by a translation written by William Hamilton of Gilbertfield (c. 1665–1751) published in 1722. In this form they met the notice of poets such as Robert Burns, Lord Byron, Robert Southey, John Keats, Joanna Baillie, and William Wordsworth. It was also an important source for Randall Wallace in his writing of the screenplay of "Braveheart", the award-winning Hollywood film. Most recently, in 1998, Elspeth King published Hamilton's text amended for modern readers as "Blind Harry's Wallace".
