Move Dundas

Whatever Henry Dundas did or did not do in relation to slavery, few Edinburgh folk nowadays know or care much about him. His statue should leave St Andrew Square. It could be retired to a smaller plinth perhaps on Calton Hill, with a plaque saying who he was and what he did.

The column in St Andrew Square might be removed or could appropriately bear a representation of Saint Andrew or a Saltire (Saint Andrew’s) Cross. Or a unicorn could properly adorn one of our capital city’s main squares.

And the statue of the former Duke of Sutherland near Golspie could also go into retirement, leaving the plinth as a landmark – possibly topped with a Celtic Cross.
