Scope and Content Royal Scots Greys Monument, West Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh West Princes Street Gardens, on the west side of the Mound, were formed by the draining of the Nor' Loch in the 1760s. They were designed and landscaped by James Skene in 1816 as private gardens for the residents of Princes Street. The monument to the Royal Scots Greys, opposite Frederick Street, is of a strikingly realistic mounted trooper in bronze on a rocky pedestal by William Birnie Rhind in 1906. The equestrian monument to members of Scotland's crack cavalry regiment, the Royal Scots Greys, commemorates the officers and men who died in South Africa during the Boer War.
