Tour Scotland photograph of the James Graham, Marquess of Montrose, Memorial in St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh, Scotland. Montrose was executed outside St Giles' at the Mercat Cross in 1650, and his head placed on a spike outside the church. After the Restoration of King Charles II in 1660, Montrose's head and body were exhumed and reinterred in St Giles' with full honours.
