I have lived up in the North East of Scotland for almost 16 years and had never visited Inverness Castle - till recently.
The statue is of Flora Macdonald at the castle.
The Flora McDonald Statue is situated in front of Inverness Castle and is dedicated to Flora MacDonald, the daughter of Ranald MacDonald of Milton and his wife Marion. Flora was a Jacobite heroine who helped Prince Charles Edward Stewart flee from the Hanovarian forces after the Battle of Culloden in 1746. Erected in the early 1900s, the statue depicts Flora looking southwest with her dog.
