Statue of Hugh Miller
This is a statue of Hugh Miller, a popular geologist and writer, by Amelia Paton. It was made in 1869 - thirteen years after his death.
The statue is carved from marble, and shows Miller examining a fossil fish similar to those he discovered in the Old Red Sandstone near his home in Cromarty in Easter Ross.
Hugh Miller, 1802-56, was a prolific writer and journalist, who combined deep religious beliefs with a passion for geology and folklore. Miller's fossil collection is one of the best assembled from Scotland.
