George Square Reborn with Statues and Truth | Glasgow News

George Square in Glasgow is undergoing a $20 million glow-up, with bronze statues restored to their original glory and the space redesigned for more greenery, seating, and pedestrians. Three statues are already back on display, with full reopening slated for October after construction delays—including unexpected Victorian finds underground. The council promises a “better looked after and more handsome” square, complete with family-friendly street events in September and a delicate statue reinstallation. Restoration experts stripped away decades of grime and repainted with wax, revealing intricate details—and some statues now feature QR codes linking to their histories, including ties to slavery. Glasgow isn’t glossing over its past; the square’s renewal honors both beauty and accountability. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
