At the east end of Kelvingrove Park near Park Circus is the equestrian bronze statue of Lord Roberts. The British Field Marshal is best known for suppressing the Indian Rebellion of 1857. After successfully leading several other military campaigns, he became Commander-in-Chief of the Forces from 1901 until the position was abolished in 1904. On the left is Victoria, the Roman goddess of victory. Below her is the inscription, “By virtue of courage.”
