I believe there is a statue to the Prussian Field Marshal James Keith in front of Peterhead's Town House.

Keith was a Jacobite who was exiled in 1715 and served in Spanish, Russian and Prussian armies.

He was killed in action fighting the Russians so his statue is a war memorial and should be on the forum.

If anyone is in the Peterhead area can they get some photographs of his statue.

Thanks

Adam
