When

Where

Laurel Hill East

Scottish citizens made a significant contribution to the design of Laurel Hill East and its monuments and are among its many notable residents. Learn about the 26-year-old architect who designed Laurel Hill East, the Sir Walter Scott sculpture grouping that first greets visitors, and the craftsman responsible for George Washington’s tomb. This tour will also feature Scottish merchants, physicians, and patriots; people like Bonny Prince Charles’ surgeon, a cantankerous signer of the Declaration of Independence, and a tobacco agent who cofounded The First City Troop.
