The action at Lanark was an attack at Lanark, Scotland during the First War of Scottish Independence in May 1297. The Scotsman William Wallace led an uprising against the English and killed the Sheriff of Lanark, William Heselrig. The attack was not an isolated incident, but rather saw Wallace joining in with uprisings taking place across Scotland.
After the action at Lanark, William Wallace joined forces with William Douglas the Hardy and led a raid on the city of Scone.He and his men forced William de Ormesby, the English-appointed Justice of Scotland, to flee, and took control.

And the whole "He emerges into history with his killing of the Sheriff of Lanark in 1297" shows alot of ignorance. Wallace had killed at least three other English nobles of importance, and fought in over four skimishes.
