One of the four rather wonderfully sculpted eagles on the Battlefield Monument in Glasgow. Designed by Alexander Skirving with sculptures by James Young, it was erected in 1887, and it commemorates the Battle of Langside between the army of Mary, Queen of Scots and that of the Earl of Moray, which took place nearby in 1568.

This Is My Glasgow

Queen Mary's troops were defeated, and she fled south to England, where she was imprisoned and eventually executed by her cousin, Queen Elizabeth in 1587. The monument was erected to mark the 300th anniversary of her death.
