Elgin, Lady Hill, Duke Of Gordon Monument, Commemorative monument on Lady Hill in Elgin, Scotland
The Duke of Gordon Monument features a Tuscan column measuring 24 meters in height with a width of 2.06 meters at its base point.
Construction of the monument began in 1838 to honor George Gordon, the 5th Duke of Gordon, with the addition of the statue completed in 1855.
The statue depicts Gordon wearing the official Chancellor robes from Marischall College Aberdeen, representing his connection to Scottish education and nobility.
A spiral staircase inside the hollow column structure allows visitors to climb to the top for views across Elgin and the Cairngorms.
The monument initially featured a lantern at its peak, which was later replaced with the current statue after public criticism of the original design.
