The Scottish-American War Memorial

"This memorial was initiated by the Scottish-American War Memorial Commitee. The statue and bas-relief were sculpted by Canadian Robert Tait Mackenzie (1867-1938) and cast at the Roman Bronze Works, Brooklyn, New York. Mackenzie was a physician and Director of Physical Education at the University of Pennsylvania.

The Craigleith sandstone setting was designed by architect Reginald Fairlie.

The memorial was unveiled on the 7th September 1927 by U.S. Ambassador Houghton, who was given the Freedom of Edinburgh."
