This monument stands in tribute to James, Earl of Angus and son of James Douglas, the 2nd Marquess of Douglas. His main notability was to fight on the side of William of Orange in opposition to the Jacobite cause and secondly for raising the Cameronians Regiment, which existed for over 200 years in the British Army until it was disbanded in the 1960s. This monument was raised in 1888 to mark the 200 year anniversary of the raising of the regiment. The monument features a larger than life statue of James, surmounted on a pedestal. The statue depicts Tricorne as a young man in military attire of the 17th century and wearing a tricorne. His right arm is raised as if presenting the Cameronians, while his left is holding his sword held in its scabbard. The sculpture is an incredible cast bronze work with fine detail on the Earl's uniform and face.
