Artillery guns and Flora Macdonald statue overlooking the River Ness from Castle Hill, Inverness. Flora helped Bonnie Prince Charlie escape after the Jacobite Rebellion failure in 1746. The statue was unveiled in July 1899. On the left is an 1873 German cannon captured by the Cameron Highlanders in the First World War. The cannon on the right was a trophy from Sebastopol in the Crimean War, presented to Inverness on 4th August 1857. It sits on a cast metal carriage built by the Rose Street Foundry. The were two Russian guns and 'Inverness Advertiser' wrote that 'The guns are 45-pounders, weighing about 56 cwts. each. They are from Sebastopol, and seem to have seen hard service, both being partially damaged.' It's unsure when the guns disappeared. They were probably removed from the castle at the time of the Castle Street landslide which took place on 11th October 1932. The remaining guns were sold as scrap, supposedly for the war effort, by the County Council in 1941. *
