Statue in Portland stone to Guthrie standing on Princes Street in Edinburgh by the sculptor F. W. Pomeroy. This was erected in 1910. It bears the following inscription:

 “An eloquent preacher of the gospel. Founder of the Edinburgh Original Ragged Industrial Schools, and by tongue and pen, the apostle of the movement elsewhere. One of the earliest temperance reformers. A friend of the poor and of the oppressed.”
