Eoghan Bridge's "Horse and Rider" sculpture on the pedestrian link between posh Rutland Square and the modern financial district. Eoghan Bridge was born in Edinburgh in 1963. He is known for his ceramic and bronze sculptures that shows relationship and bonds between animals and humans. Rearing horse with naked man seated on horse's back and holding onto the top of its head. Interesting bronze sculpture.This is one of that piece of art in Edinburgh which is memorable. There is something a bit disturbing in it. Take a look if you nearby.

First time I had noticed this impressive Statue in Coates Crescent. Designed by James MacGillivary for this site . The residents objected to its installation and it was eventually installed in St Andrews square . Relocated to this Coates Gardens in 1955 . It is an asset to the area and of great interest to adults and childrens with its many figures

Located in gardens that are open from 9.00 am till 5.30 pm everyday except Saturday when it is closed .This magnificent statue sculpted in bronze by the famous sculptor Sir John Steel in 1876 . the surrounding figures by D W Stevenson, Clark Stanton and William Brodie.The garden itself was laid out by William Weir in 1808. It is not one of the more well known attractions being slightly off the tourist trail but is well worth a look if you are in the area . It is classified category A by Historic Environment
