Pictures taken near Holyrood Palace and on walk up the Royal Mile, Edinburgh by Bob Veitch on 28th Jue 06
The sculptures are just outside Holyrood Palace - which is the Queens place in Edinburgh. The remaining photos were taken whilst on a walk up The Royal Mile (The top of which is Edinburgh Castle)
Interestingly the sculptor of the horse and man near the end of the set had a falling out with the council who commissioned the piece. The sculptor designed it in 1832 and it was eventually cast in Bronze in about 1852 - although the sculptor had the last laugh in that The horses ears have been changed into Pigs Ears !!
If you have any comments then please
