Statue of the late Prince Consort at Perth, by W. Brodie, F.S.A., 1864. A '...statue which has been raised to the memory of the late Prince Consort by the city of Perth. The statue has been executed by Mr. William Brodie, R.S.A., of Edinburgh, whose work has justified the Perth committee in their selection of a native sculptor for the execution of a Scottish memorial of the lamented Prince. The material was supplied by a fine block of pure freestone from Redhall Quarry. The figure is nine feet in height. It represents the Prince attired in the robes of a Knight of the Ancient Order of the Thistle. The dress is the doublet and trunk hose of the Old Scottish Court; and the figure bears not only the insignia of the Scottish but also of the great English order of knighthood, the Garter being worn below the left knee. The collar and star of the Thistle show very effectively on the richly-embroidered doublet, and the mantle falls gracefully in rear of the figure. The right hand rests on a square column, or pedestal, and holds an open scroll, on which the outlines of the Exhibition building of 1851 may be traced. The likeness is excellent, and the whole figure serves well to recall the Prince just as he was removed from among us'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
