This statue was sculpted by local artist Ann Henderson in 1971. It originally stood in the centre of the square but when the area was landscaped in 1994 it was repositioned to look down Channel Street. For a view of the statue in this position, see Image The statue was moved a short distance to face the Burgh Chambers buildings during the recent refurbishment works to the plaza.
