"Bronze equestrian statue of Field Marshal Earl Haig. Earl Haig is dressed in his uniform and has his sword attached to the back of the saddle on the near side. He holds the reins with his left hand and rests his right hand on the top of his right thigh. His horse has his head up and his ears pricked. The statue stands on a rocky base.
Commissioned by Sir D. Bomanji and offered as a gift to Edinburgh Corporation. Unveiled by the Lord Provost 28 September 1923, when the statue was officially taken over by the Corporation. Responsibility for the statue was then allocated to the Lord Provost's Committee. The descriptive bronze plaque was added in 1935. In 1954 the sculptor's name was engraved on the near hind hoof of the horse, after a request from his daughter Miss E. Wade."

The bronze equestrian statue of Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig (1861-1928) can now be found in the center of Hospital Square. The statue was moved here in 2009 from Edinburgh Castle Esplanade. It is currently more difficult to find. However, when visiting the National War Museum, the statue cannot be overlooked.
