He's known as Sandy Robertson

and I often sit beside him chatting away. Of course he doesn't say much except in my mind, as I guess at what responses I might get from a well respected and successful citizen of Edinburgh; so well thought of by his friends that they arranged that he be sculpted to sit in a favourite spot, known as 'Shore', in Leith from which seat he smiles at our pleasures and foibles and bids us sit awhile to keep him company.
