George Square offers a lot more than a quick selfie in front of one of its statues, and if you stop to appreciate what’s on display you’ll find this sprawling urban space is home to one of the best collections of listed buildings and monuments in Scotland. The main focal point of the square is the towering Scott Monument in the centre that’s dedicated to Scotland’s greatest wordsmith, while the gleaming white Cenotaph and equally impressive City Chambers lie to the east. On the western-side you’ll find statues of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert on horseback with the perimeter of the square playing host to a collection of statues of some of the greatest Scots that have ever lived.
