Описание: Discover the what is often cited as the only American Civil War Memorial outside the USA, located in Edinburgh’s Old Calton Burial Ground! Unveiled on August 21, 1893, this striking monument honors six Scottish soldiers who fought for the Union: Sgt. Major John McEwan, Lt. Col. William L. Duff, Robert Steedman, James Wilkie, Robert Ferguson, and Alexander Smith. Sculpted by George E. Bissell, it features Abraham Lincoln atop a red granite pedestal, with a freed slave giving thanks below, symbolizing emancipation. Commissioned by U.S. Consul Wallace Bruce after meeting McEwan’s widow, the memorial was funded by American donors, including Andrew Carnegie. Join us to explore this unique piece of history connecting Scotland and the U.S.!
