This impressive Monument to Scottish Immigrants memorial in Philadelphia was erected by the St. Andrew’s Society in 2011.
The statue depicts a Scottish family with their deerhound, as they are arriving in the U.S. One bas-relief shows 5 members of the St. Andrew’s Society who signed the Declaration of Independence. The memorial was constructed on the site of the historic Tun Tavern . It’s the birthplace of the St. Andrew’s Society and the U.S. Marine Corps. The monument is free and open 24-7.
In fall 2023, this and the Irish Memorial were moved to be near other monuments in Foglietta Plaza, overlooking I-95. The Plaza is located on Front and Spruce Streets. The Scottish and Irish monuments will remain there until 2028, while a new 11-acre Park at Penn’s Landing is created.
