Next we approach one of the most iconic sights in Glasgow, its hard to imagine the Duke of Wellington without a traffic cone on his head now! For many years the council removed the cone, only to find another one in place the following day.

Home to contemporary pieces from artists such as David Hockney and Andy Warhol, the gallery also many temporary exhibits.

Today you can still find many of these impressive buildings but now they host shops, restaurants, boutiques and galleries.
15 minutes
Glasgow Green
Glasgow green
We reach the oldest park in the city. Today we would expect to meet dog walkers, runners or maybe see children playing. In the past if we’d have faced a very different sight, a swampy area used for grazing animals, drying fishing nets or bleaching linen. Over the years the green has been saved, by public vote, from several attempts to mine coal under its surface. Finally in 2014, as part of the legacy of the Commonwealth Games, the future of the space was safeguarded for public recreation.
15 minutes
Provand's Lordship
Provands Lordship
