### Le skye-terrier Greyfriars Bobby : la loyaut\u00e9<\/p>\n

D’apr\u00e8s la l\u00e9gende, Greyfriars Bobby<\/strong>, est le c\u00e9l\u00e8bre chien \u00e9dimbourgeois qui aurait veill\u00e9 14 ans sur la tombe de son ma\u00eetre, un policier d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 en 1858. Bien que le cimeti\u00e8re lui soit interdit, il finit par s’attirer la sympathie des habitants qui le nourrissent. Symbole de loyaut\u00e9 et de fid\u00e9lit\u00e9<\/strong>, le skye-terrier poss\u00e8de depuis 1873 son effigie en taille r\u00e9elle.<\/p>\n

### Le po\u00e8te Robert Fergusson : l’inspiration<\/p>\n

Robert Fergusson<\/strong> (1750-1774) est consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme le mod\u00e8le du c\u00e9l\u00e8bre po\u00e8te romantique Robert Burns (1759 -1796) \u00e0 qui l’on d\u00e9die la nuit du 25 janvier. Appel\u00e9 le ” po\u00e8te oubli\u00e9<\/strong> “, il d\u00e9c\u00e8de tragiquement \u00e0 l’\u00e2ge de 24 ans \u00e0 Edimbourg, sa ville natale. V\u00e9ritable source d’inspiration<\/strong>, on dit que sans Fergusson, Burns n’aurait pas \u00e9t\u00e9 Burns.<\/p>\n

### Alexandre le Grand et son cheval Bucephalus : la force de l’esprit<\/p>\n

La domestication du cheval sauvage par Alexandre le Grand<\/strong> (356-323 avant J-C), roi de Mac\u00e9doine, est tr\u00e8s symbolique. Il est difficile de ne pas remarquer \u00e0 quel point le cheval Bucephalus<\/strong> se cabre ! Les statues, r\u00e9alis\u00e9es par John Steell en 1823, repr\u00e9sentent la victoire de l’esprit<\/strong> sur la force brute.<\/p>\n

### Le pompier James Braidwood : le courage<\/p>\n

N\u00e9 \u00e0 Edimbourg, James Braidwood<\/strong> (1800-1861) est repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 en uniforme tenant fi\u00e8rement son casque. Il est \u00e0 l’initiative de la premi\u00e8re compagnie de pompiers<\/strong> cr\u00e9\u00e9e en 1824. En 1833, il quitte l’Ecosse pour diriger la brigade londonienne.

### Le philosophe Adam Smith : le p\u00e8re de l’\u00e9conomie<\/p>\n

Adam Smith<\/strong> (1723-1790), philosophe et \u00e9conomiste \u00e9cossais, est consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme le p\u00e8re de l’\u00e9conomie<\/strong> lib\u00e9rale<\/strong>. Il est l’auteur de la Th\u00e9orie des sentiments moraux<\/em> (1759). Adam Smith passe les derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es de sa vie \u00e0 Edimbourg. Une halte pr\u00e8s de la statue permet aussi de d\u00e9couvrir la cath\u00e9drale St-Giles situ\u00e9e \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9.<\/p>\n
