Visit Royal Exchange Square Glasgow Scotland

Monday, November 24, 2008

Today, I attended a meeting in Glasgow so took the opportunity to take some images of Royal Exchange Square which is located at the heart of Glasgow City.

Firstly, here are a couple of images of the statue of the Duke of Wellington, a famous British military leader, which is located outside the entrance to the Gallery of Modern Art. It now seams to be mandatory for this statue to be capped with a traffic cone which serves to make the edifice somewhat surreal.

The Gallery of Modern Art was once a country mansion belonging to a tobacco 'lord' and parts of the original 1778 structure can be located in the current building.



The following are various images of the Square which in turns forms part of the Merchant City






Photography was aided by a sunny day. Contact me for tours of Glasgow
