George Square Walking Tour

  • Walter Scott Column (centre) Glasgow, Scotland, G2 1DH United Kingdom (map)

Glasgow’s George Square was laid out in 1781 and the statues, erected between 1819 and 1902, are designed to celebrate scientists, writers, military figures, politicians and royals. Dr. Michael Morris’ walking tour reveals an alternative story of Scotland’s involvement in slavery and abolition associated with every one of the statues on display.
