On the roof of the Royal Scottish Academy in the Princes Street in Edinburgh one can see eight sphinxes. Each corner has two of them. On each long side of the building all four sphinxes look in the same direction.
History
"John Steell was commissioned to carve the sphinxes and the statue of Queen Victoria. On 21 January 1837 the Edinburgh Evening Post reported that it had 'just been favoured with an inspection of the model of a Colossal Sphinx'. The paper had been concerned that a Grecian building should be surmounted by Roman sphinxes, but having seen Steell's model it found that the 'objection has been entirely dissipated; as [Steell] has so modified its character, that it is rendered completely Grecian in its style and bearing'."
