Gull on famous person #3

The gull here can hold its head high as the statue is of Flora McDonald, famous Bonnie Prince Charlie helper, and daughter of Ranald McDonald, who apparently made a particularly poor beef pattie back in the early 1700s.

While it may look like she is shielding her eyes while searching the horizon, she has in fact been deliberately portrayed in "mid-gull-thwack" as she commonly found herself being used as a perch even in life.
