    Hiking

    Dean Ramsay's 8-metre high granite Iona Cross with bronze reliefs, in the graveyard of the Scottish Episcopal St John's Church, Princes Street, Edinburgh. Designed by Robert Rowand Anderson, and executed by Farmer and Brindley of London (according to the Canmore record from the PMSA). Local stonemasons Stewart McGlashen & Son are named elsewhere. The Canmore site further identifies F. A. Skidmore as the "blacksmith" involved, and Elkington as the foundry. Skidmore's middle name was Alfred and he also executed the more typical, glowing memorial to Ramsay in the chancel. Unveiled 1879.
