Alexander Handyside Ritchie, 1849. Polished sandstone ashlar full-height statue of Ralph Erskine on square-plan sandstone ashlar pedestal. Stepped plinth and moulded cornice to pedestal; carved foliate frieze; dado inscribed with name of figure and date (1849) in Roman numerals.
Alexander Handyside Ritchie was a well known Edinburgh sculptor who executed a number of high profile commissions including the Wallace statue in Stirling. The Rev Ralph Erskine (1685-1752) was one of the founders of the Secession Movement, following his deposition by the General Assembly in 1740. Shortly afterwards he established a congregation in a meeting house which was built on this site. In 1798-1800 it was replaced by the present building just to the N, subsequently named in his honour. See separate list description for former St Andrew's Erskine Church.
