Story · Duke of Wellington

You're standing at the equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington, right in the heart of Glasgow. Behind him is the Gallery of Modern Art, the building that used to be the Royal Exchange. First, take a look at the Duke's head. There's a good chance it's wearing an orange traffic cone. More on that in a moment.
