Histoire du monument

En 1837, le politicien radical Joseph Hume lance un plan pour ériger un monument aux cinq hommes. Il préside un comité à Londres pour augmenter les souscriptions publiques en faveur du monument et s'install à Édimbourg. Cette année-là, l'éditeur William Tait sollicite en leur nom le Lord Provost d'Édimbourg pour obtenir l’octroi d'un terrain sur Calton Hill à cette fin.

Hume pose la première pierre le , et 3 000 personnes sont réunies pour l'occasion[1]. Le cimetière d'Old Calton et d'autres parties de Calton Hill abritent un certain nombre d'autres monuments et mémoriaux. Le monument a été conçu par l'architecte écossais Thomas Hamilton (en), qui est également responsable d'un certain nombre d'autres projets sur Calton Hill, notamment l'ancien bâtiment du Royal High School et le Burns Monument.

En , Hume entreprend la construction d'un second monument, au cimetière de Nunhead à Londres, d'une hauteur de 10 m[2].

Le monument bénéficie de l'inscription sur la liste des monuments classés au Royaume-Uni le [3].
