Old travel Blog photograph of the Prince Albert memorial in Aberdeen, Scotland. Unveiled by Queen Victoria on 13th October 1863, two years after Prince Albert’s death. The grieving Victoria, still distraught at the death of the prince, described the unveiling thus: “ I was terribly nervous. Longed not to have to go through this fearful ordeal, too painful, too dreadful ”. Prince Albert wears the uniform of a Field Marshal and the robe of the insignia of The Order of the Thistle, the highest Honour of Scotland. The badge motto is “ Nemo me impune lacessit ”; mening “ No one harms me with impunity ”.
