A copy of the statue of St Andrew by Francois Duquesnoy which stands in St Peters. This one in Dalmeny Sandstone is believed to have been done by the Musselburgh born sculptor Alexander Handyside Ritchie (1804–1870). It was rescued and moved to the Botanical gardens in the winter of 1964/65. Quoted from Wikipedia The statue, which is the work of Mussleburgh-born sculptor Alexander Handyside Ritchie (1804 to 1970), was a feature in the foyer of the North British & Mercantile Insurance Company building in Edinburgh before its donation to St Andrews.
