Statue of Albert, Prince Consort, North Inch
The Statue of Albert, Prince Consort, also known as The Albert Memorial, is a Category B listed monument at the North Inch public park in Perth, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It is dedicated to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, husband of Queen Victoria. The Queen unveiled the statue on 30 August, 1864, three years after Albert's death, on her way to Balmoral Castle. The couple and their children had stayed at the city's Royal George Hotel in 1848. It was their first time staying in a hotel, an occurrence prompted by their inability to stay at nearby Scone Palace because William Murray, 4th Earl of Mansfield, was out of town. The statue was sculpted by William Brodie and stands  tall. He is dressed in the robes of the Knight of the Thistle and holding a plan of the Crystal Palace. It faces south, onto Charlotte Street.
