In the vibrant city of Glasgow, the Equestrian Statue Of The Duke Of Wellington stands as a quirky yet revered landmark. This iconic statue pays homage to Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington, celebrating his legacy as both a distinguished British Army general and Prime Minister. More than just a historical monument, the statue has become a symbol of the city's playful spirit, frequently adorned with a traffic cone on the Duke's head by cheeky locals. This gesture has elevated the statue to a must-see attraction, perfectly capturing the humor and rebellious spirit of Glasgow. Situated in the bustling George Square, it is conveniently placed near the Gallery of Modern Art, making it a great addition to any sightseeing itinerary. Its charm and humor resonate with both residents and tourists, earning it a high rating and a special place in the heart of the city. Families will also find it a suitable stop with children, thanks to its central location and the surrounding lively area.

The cone was added by a drunk student in the 80's and has been replaced by the locals everytime the council has tried to remove it. It repeeents the humour of the city well.

If you ever think of Glasgow, the statue of Duke of Wellington always comes to mind. Why? Because of its unique twist of adding a traffic cone to its top of its head. This embodies the Glaswegian sense of humour. Whenever they remove it, they always put it back on—sometimes even multiple cones! I’m really impressed to see it in person and actually have a good chuckle about it! Highly recommend visiting it whenever you’re in Glasgow!
