Tour Scotland photograph of The Provost in Ceres, Fife, Scotland. The statue known as The Provost with a 17th century fireplace with frieze as the base is thought to depict the Reverend Thomas Buchanan, related to the 17th century theologian George Buchanan, who became the last church provost of Ceres in 1578. The figure portrays him as a toby jug and is probably satirical. The sculptor, a local stonemason named James Howie, also carved a panel below the figure depicting the Battle of Bannockburn.
