Edinburgh

Monuments

and

Statues

Edinburgh has 160 public monuments.  Many were financed by public subscription in the 19th century. 

An exhibition Edinburgh's Monuments was held at the City Art Centre, Market Street in early 2004, giving information on many of these monuments.

Below are links to pages featuring some of these monuments.
