The Emigrants Monument, located in Albert Dock, Liverpool, is a striking bronze sculpture that commemorates the millions of people who left the UK from Liverpool's docks in search of a better life. The monument depicts a group of people, including men, women, and children, standing together and looking out to sea, symbolizing the hopes and dreams of those who set sail from the city. The sculpture is mounted on a granite base and surrounded by a series of plaques that list the names of ships that sailed from Liverpool, as well as the destinations of those who emigrated.
This is a great place to pull over, there is plenty of parking, pick nic tables, a beautiful monument, and great views over the surrounding area of Helmsdale and out to sea.
It is also the spectacular viewpoints
There is plenty of parking and a view over the village and the harbour. The memorial has women and children, with one woman having a last look back, which makes it all the more poignant. It was funded by locals and emigrants hence the different flags flying. Hard not to feel something.
Sad story, nice place. A monument in memory of all the scottish peoples who were sent from their homeland, banished, to far flung parts of the world. They were made to be worth less than sheep. Homes were destroyed and people sent on ships some never to return. Tragic state of affairs. Statue erected by descendants of those poor folk.
Quite an amazing monument. People just skip this in the rush, but I would recommend spending some time here.
Once you've seen my photos, that's about all you need unless particularly moved to pay respects.
