Thomas Hay Marshall (1770 – 15 July 1808) was twice lord provost of Perth, Scotland. With a passion for Georgian architecture,[1] Marshall is credited with building Perth's "new town" to the north and south of the city centre.[2][3]
Marshall was involved in the founding of Perth Academy, at its former location in Rose Terrace, and in the design of HM Prison Perth.[2]
A bronze statue of Marshall, designed by David Morison and sculpted by John Cochrane and Brothers in 1822, stands behind four Ionic order columns beside Perth Art Gallery with the Latin phrase cives grati (grateful citizens in English) following his name above the statue.[1][4]
Marshall Place, which runs along the northern side of the South Inch, is named for him.[5]
