Description
The monument to James George Smith Neill, located in Wellington Square, Ayr, was sculpted by Matthew Noble in 1859. It features a stepped granite rectangular-plan plinth with a bronze tablet on the west face that depicts a battle scene, along with a pulvinated bronze band. Atop the plinth is a bronze figure facing east. The west face of the monument reads, "Erected by public subscription 1859." The east face provides an inscription that honors Neill as "Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, Lieutenant Colonel in the Madras Army. Brigadier General in India. A brave, resolute, self-reliant soldier, universally acknowledged as the first who stemmed the torrent of rebellion in Bengal. He fell gloriously at the relief of Lucknow, 25th September 1857, aged 47."
