Situated on the grounds of Laigh Markethill is a statue of a seated figure depicting Sir Walter Scott.
The sculptor was William Arneil, a stonemason from Eaglesham. Arneil was said to have spent his spare time (at the age of 18) sculpting the statue in his uncle’s wash house in the village.
The Scott statue was later purchased by Dauvit Robertson, a builder who lived at Laigh Markethill.
