This is our Border Reiver, The Galashiels War Memorial statuette. Its a scale relica of the beautiful 'Fletcher' sculpture in the Border town of Selkirk. The sculpture is made in the 8 inch scale and we include the wooden base and the engraved brass plate as standard.
Following the battle of Flodden in 1513 where the Scots army was massacred by English longbowmen, a few survivors staggered back to their villages bringing the terrible news that not only was the army lost but the English were close behind. Fletcher, a townsman from Selkirk in the Scottish Borders is immortalised in a life size bronze. This is a faithful copy in an 8" Scale.
In an effort to be more sustainable we've had our outer packaging redesigned to be fully recyclable. Every statue comes in a simple elegant printed brown box with printed fabric tape.
Inside the box the statue will be protected with bubble wrap and special foam bags to minimise the chance of damage in transit.
All our statues include an optional engraved plate on the wooden base. On the bronze statues the plate is jewellers brass and the pewter/ silver statues have a nickel silver plate.
To add a plate to your statue please select the option above and enter your engraving details. Please note if the engraving is left blank no plate will be included. If you'd like a blank plate please write this in the engraving details.
Please DOUBLE CHECK the engraving as mistakes will require a new plate to be made.
On the engraving the text will be centred and the font sized to fit the plate.
