Kidnapped statue, Corstorphine Road

I see this statue every day as I zoom past in the car and it only now that I know what it is about, so thanks Blipfoto for making me stop with a thought to blipping it.

The memorial to Robert Louis Stevenson depicts 2 characters from Kidnapped, Alan Breck Stewart and David Balfour who famously departed near the spot where the statue is sited.

The statue unveiled by Sir Sean Connery in September 2004 was made by Alexander Stoddart with support from Scottish & Newcastle Breweries.
