About MeThis three-dimensional bronze statue was commissioned by Aberdeen City Council and unveiled by the Colonel-in-Chief of the Gordon Highlanders, Prince Charles, the Duke of Rothesay. It had been campaigned for over a number of years and was selected following a national competiton. The winning design features two Gordon Highlanders, dressed in historic and present-day uniform, one is from the early days of the Regiment and the other from its closing years before the amalgamation of the Regiment in 1994 when it became part of the Highlanders. These figures are set upon a rough granite block which forms a plinth.Find out more about this work, its unveiling and the sculptor Mark Richards at: http://www.markrichardsdrawings.com/unveiling
