It follows a row after trustees commissioned a male sculptor who had not entered a submission to make the statue.

The move caused uproar from artists on social media.

Trustees said "the level of vitriol directed by some contributors" was "bordering on the defamatory" and have now temporarily stopped the campaign.

The row started after the charity trustees planning the statue on the Royal Mile cancelled their contest to find an artist and appointed the royal sculptor Alexander Stoddart instead.

It said the rethink came after watching the Queen's cortege in Edinburgh last month, saying the statue "needed to meet with the historical consciousness of the Royal Mile".

However, artists criticised the decision by the charity, which raised over £50,000, saying it ignored its own competition rules.

Sculptors, some of whom had spent hundreds of hours on their competition entries, insisted the move was "wrong" and "unfair".
