Sherlock Holmes Statue

The Sherlock Holmes Statue is a tribute to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of the iconic detective, who was born in Edinburgh. The statue, depicting Holmes in his classic deerstalker hat, is located on Picardy Place, near the site of Doyle’s birthplace. While the statue has faced temporary relocation due to tram construction, it remains a popular destination for fans of the literary character and a notable landmark in the city. It serves as a photo opportunity and a reminder of Edinburgh’s rich literary history.
