I can't believe I had never noticed this bekilted figure before, but then until I started photo-blogging, I think I walked around this city with my eyes half shut. This wonderful statue stands in front of a war memorial in West Princes Street Gardens and was a gift from families of Scottish descent in the USA to Edinburgh. The detail of the pleats on the kilt is really detailed and well-done.

I think it's also to do with the fact you weren't born in Edinburgh. Natives frequently do not 'see' their home town.
yeah, i think each of us has big eyes due to DP blogging!
Courageous young men.
