/></a></p> <p>This statue on the High Street in Selkirk honours Mungo Park (1771–1806), a local-born explorer whose expeditions helped chart the River Niger and brought West Africa into the European imagination during the height of the imperial age.<br /> <br /> Born at Foulshiels near Selkirk, Park trained as a surgeon and undertook two major expeditions to Africa for the African Association. His travels (1795–97 and 1805–06) involved enormous hardship, but also raised troubling questions: while Park himself did not engage in slave-trading, his journeys were closely aligned with British imperial interests, and the regions he explored were deeply enmeshed in the transatlantic slave economy.<br /> <br /> He died during his second expedition, attempting to navigate the Niger, likely drowned near Bussa. He was 35.<br /> <br /> The statue, sculpted by Andrew Currie of Darnick and unveiled in 1859, depicts Park with a book and compass — symbols of enlightenment, curiosity, and control. It stands as both a tribute and a prompt for reflection, reminding us that exploration and exploitation often travelled together.<br /> <br /> ⸻<br /> <br /> 🇫🇷 Cette statue située sur la High Street de Selkirk rend hommage à Mungo Park (1771–1806), explorateur né dans la région, dont les expéditions ont contribué à cartographier le fleuve Niger et à intégrer l’Afrique de l’Ouest dans l’imaginaire européen à l’époque impériale.<br /> <br /> Né à Foulshiels près de Selkirk, Park s’est formé comme chirurgien et mena deux grandes expéditions pour le compte de l’African Association. Ses voyages (1795–97 et 1805–06) furent marqués par des épreuves extrêmes, mais posent aussi des questions difficiles : bien qu’il ne fût pas impliqué dans la traite des esclaves, ses missions servaient les intérêts coloniaux britanniques, et les régions traversées faisaient partie intégrante de l’économie esclavagiste transatlantique.<br /> <br /> Il mourut au cours de sa deuxième expédition, probablement noyé près de Bussa, à l’âge de 35 ans.<br /> <br /> La statue, sculptée par Andrew Currie de Darnick et inaugurée en 1859, le montre tenant un livre et une boussole — symboles d’érudition, de curiosité et de pouvoir. Elle rend hommage tout en invitant à la réflexion : l’exploration et l’exploitation marchaient souvent main dans la main.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/fotos_by_findlay/">FotoFling Scotland</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/fotos_by_findlay/54847578906/" title="Entrapment "><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54847578906_ddfe3730fc_m.jpg" width="240" height="232" alt="Entrapment " /></a></p> <p>Selkirk RFC v Glasgow Hawks <br /> Philphaugh Stadium, Selkirk <br /> 11th October 2025<br /> Selkirk 46 Glasgow Hawks 35</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/fotos_by_findlay/">FotoFling Scotland</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/fotos_by_findlay/54846657667/" title="Selkirk v Glasgow Hawks"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54846657667_70dc76e5ee_m.jpg" width="240" height="240" alt="Selkirk v Glasgow Hawks" /></a></p> <p>Selkirk RFC v Glasgow Hawks <br /> Philphaugh Stadium, Selkirk <br /> 11th October 2025<br /> Selkirk 46 Glasgow Hawks 35</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/fotos_by_findlay/">FotoFling Scotland</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/fotos_by_findlay/54846580257/" title="Glasgow Hawks Players "><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54846580257_55f76c2666_m.jpg" width="240" height="135" alt="Glasgow Hawks Players " /></a></p> <p>Selkirk RFC v Glasgow Hawks <br /> Philphaugh Stadium, Selkirk <br /> 11th October 2025<br /> Selkirk 46 Glasgow Hawks 35</p>
