How to get the statistics existing on a column, if any?

I want to check in Transact SQL if a specific column in a table has statistics and if so to get them all.

• This query should do it.
  I use it in a stored proc that browse the DB to find stats.
  Works in SQL Server 2005 and probably older version as well.

  SELECT S.NAME
  FROM   SYS.OBJECTS AS O
         INNER JOIN SYS.STATS AS S
           ON O.OBJECT_ID = S.OBJECT_ID
         INNER JOIN SYS.STATS_COLUMNS AS SC
           ON SC.OBJECT_ID = S.OBJECT_ID
              AND S.STATS_ID = SC.STATS_ID
  WHERE  (O.OBJECT_ID = OBJECT_ID('MyTable','local'))
         AND (O.TYPE IN ('U'))
         AND (INDEXPROPERTY(S.OBJECT_ID,S.NAME,'IsStatistics') = 1)  /* only stats */
         AND (COL_NAME(SC.OBJECT_ID,SC.COLUMN_ID) = 'MyColumn')
