You might remember that he was the husband of Queen Victoria, and he died at age 42. Scotland wanted to join in the tributes, so it got to work. John Steell came up with the idea of putting him on a horse, and then giving him a Field Marshall's uniform. It's about 30 feet high including the base, and is surrounded by other monuments.
It must have gone over well. Steell was knighted in 1876.
