The Statue of the Prince Consort (1819-1861) in Union Street, Aberdeen

Photograph of a monumental statue of Prince Albert, Prince Consort on Union Street, Aberdeen. The Prince is depicted full length, seated. He wears the uniform of a Field Marshal and the robe of the insignia of The Order of the Thistle, the highest Honour of Scotland. The plinth beneath the sculpture reads 'Albert'. In the background are buildings in a Gothic style.

The statue was made by Baron Carlo Marochetti and the unveiling took place on 13 October 1863 by the unhappy Queen Victoria, and it remained here until 1914. It is now in the garden area opposite His Majesty's Theatre, Rosemount Viaduct, Aberdeen.
