Reform Monument

The Reform Monument is a Category B listed monument on Broad Street, at its junction with Longate, in Peterhead, Scotland, built in 1833. A Roman doric column, it is surmounted by arms of Earl Marischal, inspired by the gateway of Inverugie Castle.[1] (Architectural historian Charles McKean wrote that the arms were "robbed" from the castle.)[2]

Not to be confused with Reform Tower, Peterhead.
