Description: A cast bronze figure on a sandstone ashlar pedestal and base. The figure depicts Prince Charles Edward Stuart on horseback in a jaunty pose and wearing a frock coat with sword at his belt. The horse has a lively gait with one leg raised. The rear of the base of the casting bears the founder's and sculptor's marks. The oblong pedestal has an overhanging coping with battered face and a projecting plinth with bevelled top.
