George Square

Dead centre in the city centre, George Square is as much a part of Glasgow's legacy as Clydebuilt ships, the Duke of Wellington's traffic cone, and tinnies of Tennent’s. In recent years, this location has seen protests of all kinds and is known to many as Freedom Square. On dry afternoons throughout the week, you'll see the workers of the many businesses in the area sitting on a bench or on the grass eating their lunch. At Christmas time, you'll find a market and an exceptionally large Christmas tree. With many impressive statues and resting in the shadow of Glasgow City Chambers, you'd be hard-pressed to find a location that better represents the spirit of Glasgow.

We wheeled across to George Square having arrived at the nearby station not sure what we'd find. It's a great open space and easy to find a spot to sit and watch the world go by.
