I notice that a lot of statues in Scotland involve a man on a horse, I posted about one I found in Glasgow. This one is located in the streets of the Edinburgh Castle. This is the Earl Haig statue. It was presented to the city of Edinburgh by Sir Dhunibhoy Bomanji of Bombay in admiration of the services rendered to the British empire by the field marshal.

This building houses the Scottish crown jewels. It is located within the walls of the Edinburgh Castle. The crown, sceptre and sword of the state used in the coronation of Mary Queen of Scots in 1543 are displayed in the ancient crown room of this building.
