George Square is the vital civic center in Glasgow. The square hosts several big events throughout the year and is home to many historical monuments. Glasgow’s main war memorial is placed at one end of the square in front of the Glasgow City Council Chamber.
The principal point of the square is the towering Scott Monument in the middle that’s dedicated to Scotland’s greatest wordsmith Sir Walter Scott, while the white Cenotaph and equally impressive City Chambers lie to the east. On the western side, people can find statues of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert on horseback with the perimeter of the square playing host to a collection of statues of notorious Scots.
