I've seen these in the Ultimate LEGO Book.  What are they?

They are ceremonial guards to the queen or somesuch. I don't know that much
about them, having grown up in Scotland.. but you'll find them in London, where
they are a popular tourist attraction etc etc. And they wear silly hats.

At the Tower of London.

I don't think there are any anywhere else.
