This memorial in Glasgow's Southern Necropolis is known as The White Lady. Local legend has it that she'll turn her head to watch you pass, but whatever you do, don't catch her eye while she's doing it, or she'll turn you to stone!
I also noticed that people have left small keepsakes and silver coins at her feet, so who knows what other powers she has for those who believe in her.
