Statue of Prince Albert, Bronze equestrian statue at Balmoral Castle, Scotland
The bronze statue depicts Prince Albert in formal military attire and the robes of the Order of the Thistle, mounted on a granite pedestal.
Queen Victoria unveiled this memorial to her husband Prince Albert in 1863, expressing strong emotions during the ceremony marking two years after his death.
The sculpture features the Scottish motto 'Nemo me impune lacessit' and represents the connection between the British monarchy and Scottish traditions.
The statue stands near the entrance of Balmoral Castle, offering visitors a chance to examine the detailed craftsmanship of Baron Carlo Marochetti.
The red granite base of the statue comes from local Aberdeen quarries, connecting the memorial to the regional geology of Northeast Scotland.
