This
one in Edinburgh, Scotland, from Michael Byrne is on Princes
Street, just left of the memorial statue to Sir James Young Simpson
(1811 - 1870).
Below:

Edinburgh.
Above: Looking south
west on Princes Street with the 'mark at bottom left and with the
statue plinth visible through the railings. Michael Byrne adds “Life
suddenly became a lot less painful for everyone, thanks to the
efforts of Sir James Young Simpson. In 1847 he discovered the use of
chloroform as an anesthetic. Benchmark hunting can be so
educational!”
