Albert Monument, Category B listed monument in North Inch Park, Perth, Scotland
The monument features Prince Albert wearing the robes of the Knight of the Thistle while holding plans of the Crystal Palace in his right hand.
Queen Victoria unveiled the 8-foot sandstone statue on August 30, 1864, during her journey to Balmoral Castle, three years after Prince Albert's death.
The statue commemorates Prince Albert's contributions to British society and represents the strong connection between Perth and the Victorian royal family.
Located at the edge of North Inch park, the monument faces south onto Charlotte Street, making it visible to visitors exploring Perth's historical landmarks.
Local residents took initiative by creating a temporary wooden nameplate when the original inscription eroded, demonstrating community involvement in preservation.
