The floating statue of Robert the Bruce in Scotland. Not magic, but reality.

A quite peerless pedestal, on which, in snowy weather, the horse appears to be quite detached from the ground. Bravo, the Scots!

The monument stands by the site of the landmark Battle of Bannockburn. Bravo, the Scots, for their ingenuity; a pity it was not we who thought of it.
