The Duke of Wellington Equestrian statue in Glasgow is a famous landmark that has become known for its quirky tradition. The statue, sculpted by Carlo Marochetti and erected in 1844, depicts the Duke on his horse Copenhagen. But what really makes this statue stand out is the traffic cone that is often placed on its head. This tradition started in the 1980s and has continued ever since, despite efforts by the city council to discourage it. The cone has become a symbol of local humor and has even been featured in travel guides as one of the "top 10 most bizarre monuments on Earth." Whether you see it as vandalism or a lighthearted prank, there's no denying that the Duke of Wellington statue with its traffic cone is a unique and beloved sight in Glasgow.
