I've never really liked statues. You can bin all of them, as far as I care. That might be an opinion shared by a few. They always make me feel a bit uneasy, as they often look like macabre caricatures. and their location is always prone to problems of site. I'd rather legacy of inspirational individuals was kept alive in books/internet, machinery, structures (museums, if necessary) and social fabric, etc, etc. Edited by Forest Hillbilly (08 Jan 2022 8.01am) As for that feckin' Angel of the North

I did like the Queen Victoria statue in Warrior Square, St Leonards. If only because after big nights out, it was newly decorated with topical attire. She was not amused. There’s a statue of the Duke of Wellington in George Square in Glasgow which has had a cone on it’s head since the 1970s. There have been a few initiatives over the years to stop it happening but they’ve all been ignored.

I look up and see this statue and have no idea who it is - just artwork to me I'm afraid.
