Description
The equestrian statue located on High Street in Hawick was created by William Francis Beattie in 1914 and completed by his father, Thomas Beattie, in 1921. This prominent bronze statue depicts a mounted standard bearer at a critical junction in the town center, set on an oval-plan stone pedestal.
The statue features the standard bearer sitting astride a horse, holding an unfurled flag aloft in his right hand. The horse is depicted with its right foreleg raised and its head bowed.
The pedestal has a deep plinth, a base course, and a cornice. On the front side, there is an inscription that reads "TERIBUS YE TERIODIN" with the date 1514 above it, along with a plaque displaying the town coat of arms. Additional inscriptions can be found on the sides.
