If you look for the statue on Google Earth then you won't see it for the temporary seating that is errected each August for the military tattoo held in Edinburgh every year.
Wikipedia's entry for Earl Haig reads as follows:
Field Marshal Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig, KT, GCB, OM, GCVO, KCIE, ADC (19 June 1861 – 29 January 1928) was a British soldier and senior commander (field marshal) during World War I. He commanded the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) from 1915 to the end of the War. Most notably he was commander during the Battle of the Somme, the 3rd Battle of Ypres and the series of victories leading to the German surrender in 1918.
