Statue of Robert the Bruce

The Statue of Robert the Bruce is a stone figure located at Stirling Castle, depicting the historical Scottish leader in chain mail armor. The sculpture shows him with his hand resting on a sword pommel and a shield positioned behind him.

Andrew Currie created this monument in 1876 when Scotland was celebrating its national heritage through public sculptures. The period reflected growing interest in Scottish symbols and historical figures.

This sculpture has become a symbol of Scottish national pride and heritage in the region. Visitors often come to pay respect to the figure it commemorates.

The sculpture is accessible by following the pathway to Stirling Castle's esplanade, which is open to visitors during daylight hours. The route is straightforward and easily found from the castle grounds.

The sculpture faces southward toward the Bannockburn battlefield, where a major victory was fought under this leader's command. This orientation links the monument directly to the historical event it commemorates.
