Gordon Highlander

A sculpture in honour of the Gordon Highlanders stands proudly at the top of Union Street in Aberdeen.

It was unveiled in 2011 and the sculptor commented, "I have retained some marks from my original workings in clay to keep the surface of the sculpture alive and convey the ruggedness of a soldier's life." It's the fineness of the detail that particularly impressed me and also the fact that the figure is so lifelike and natural despite being cast in bronze.
