A plaque will be added to a statue of controversial 19th Century politician Henry Dundas - detailing his role in delaying the abolition of slavery.
The monument to Conservative politician Dundas at the Melville Monument in St Andrews Square, Edinburgh, became a focal point for discussion during Black Lives Matter demonstrations in June.
Activists left signs at the monument saying Bring down Dundas , Their lives mattered , and Hope - and some called for a plaque to be added explaining Dundas role in delaying the abolition of slavery while Home Secretary in the 1800s.
Academics say his actions in deferring the abolition resulted in an additional 630,000 people being transported from Africa to Britain s colonies in the West Indies.

Keeping the supply flowing has been a major problem these last few months. And that’s something Biden can only do so much to control.
