Royal Exchange Square, Glasgow A. I.-Generated Article: The Duke of Wellington statue in Glasgow is known for having a traffic cone on its head. The first documented sightings of the Duke’s conical hat date back to the 1980s. The practice of ‘cone-capping’ is rumoured to be the result of a night out where locals decided it would be funny to place a cone on the statue’s head. The cone has become an integral component of the city and plays testament to the priceless Glaswegian and Scottish sense of humour.

The equestrian Wellington Statue is a statue of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, located on Royal Exchange Square in Glasgow, Scotland. It is located outside the Gallery of Modern Art near the end of Ingram Street. The statue was sculpted by Italian artist Carlo Marochetti and erected in 1844. Capping the statue with a traffic cone has become a traditional practice in the city, claimed to represent the humour of the local population and believed to date back to the first half of the 1980s, if not before. The statue is a Category-A listed monument, and is one of Glasgow's most iconic landmarks. Due to minor damage and the potential for injury that the placing of cones involves, the practice had been discouraged by Glasgow City Council and Strathclyde Police. Quoted from Wikipedia
