This large bronze sculpture, Horse, Rider, Eagle, by sculptor,
Eoghan Bridge (born Edinburgh, 1963) has been installed on the street corner
on the right-hand side of this photo. These streets are at
Silvermills, about a quarter of a mile to the
SW of Canonmills, Edinburgh.
This sculpture was
commissioned by Cala Homes (Scotland) in association with Edinburgh
Council's "Percent for Art" scheme in 1997.
This is one of two sculptures
of horses and riders by Eoghan Bridge. The other, titled Horse
and Rider, has been sited outside Baillie Gifford's building at
