Wellington in Glasgow


There is a statue of Wellington astride his horse right outside of the Glasgow Museum of Modern Art. While it is a nice piece of art, there are folks that regularly crown him with a traffic cone. The city takes the cone down but pretty soon one is back. It is an act of harmless anti-government  behavior. I suspect that the ring leaders hang out in one of the pubs cross the street - which are very nice, by the way. Glasgow is a modern center of architecture and engineering. It is very different in feel from Edinburgh.
