Sculptor. Although born in Aberdeen, Steell moved to Edinburgh at a young age. He was appointed Queen Victoria's Sculptor in Scotland in 1844, and created many of the public statues in Edinburgh. These include the equestrian statues of the Duke of Wellington outside Register House, which was dubbed 'the Iron Duke in bronze by Steell', Alexander and Bucephalus in front of the City Chambers, together with the statue of Sir Walter Scott at the centre of the Scott Monument.
