Why does this statue have a cone on its head? 👀 We saw the famous traffic cone sitting on Equestrian Statue of the Duke of Wellington outside Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow 😅 Apparently it’s been happening for years, but we’re curious how this actually became a thing… Is the cone tradition just a Glasgow joke, or is there a real story behind it? Comment below! 👇 | James and Josie Travel

Only in Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 This is the Duke of Wellington Statue, made famous by its traffic cone, a long-running tradition that started as a wee bit of mischief, but somehow became a cultural icon. It’s a perfect sum up of the city: historic, creative, and never taking itself too seriously. #Glasgow #DukeOfWellington #GlasgowHumour #PeopleMakeGlasgow #VisitScotland #scotlandswild #scotlandtours | Scotland's Wild

Keep your eye on the statue of Wellington as it's the only thing that these two views share. The older image shows David Hamilton's British Linen Bank HQ of 1840-41 while the modern view is Cooper Cromar's recent glass-fronted addition. #Glasgow #glasgowhistory #history #thenandnow | Past Glasgow
