Merchant Navy Memorial The light sandstone column in this photo is a newly erected memorial (November 2010) to Merchant Navy and other sailors who have lost their lives in wartime and peacetime. The statue is situated between: - FOREGROUND: the statue of Sandy Irvine Robertson (1942-1999), seated on a public bench, close to the Water of Leith, near the swing bridge where the Water of Leith enters Leith Harbour. - BACKGROUND: The Malmaison Hotel. It is appropriate that this memorial has been installed close to the Water of Leith, where Leith Inner Harbour used to be, and in front of The Malmaison Hotel. The Malmaison Hotel , was built in 1883 as The Seamen's Home. |
