The Welsh newspaper Western Mail published a nice article today about the sale of the house that Wallace was born in - see http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/2010/02/18/call-for-national-trust-to-buy-scientist-wallace-s-home-91466-25858285/
As far as I know the house currently has no protection against alteration - so even if no one has the will or the means to buy it, it should really be given some protection ASAP. In Wales the body responsible for protecting historic buildings is Cadw, which is part of the Welsh Assembly Government (CLICK HERE for information about Cadw). Someone should inform Cadw about the historical significance of the house and ask them to consider it for listing - preferable at Grade I (the greatest protection), so that in the future no one can alter it any more than it has already been.
