Add to Lightbox Download

The largest of the three sculptures, The Foot, that makes up The Manuscript of Monte Cassino by Eduardo Paolozzi has been removed from its site on Edinburgh's Picardy Place to allow works on the new St James quarter.

The work was commissioned by entrepreneur, Sir Tom Farmer and remembers the bombing during WW2 of the Monte Cassino monastery - close to the artists family home.

Pictured: Protestors from the Cockburn Society examine the plans for the eventual re-siting of the statues which is still being consulted on by the Edinburgh Council
