About MeThis monument, created by sculptor Alan Herriot, depicts the Scottish king Robert the Bruce on horseback, clutching the charter which he granted in 1319 to give Aberdeen feudal rights over the Forest of Stocket.

The Robert The Bruce monument – voted for by the people of Aberdeen – has taken up prime position outside the revamped Marischal College, which reopened shortly afterwards as the city council’s new headquarters.
