Eilidh and Freya 

The Wellington statue was made by an artist called Carlo Marochetti in 1844. 

this statue is famous for having a cone on its head. The story behind this mysterious cone is actually very simple. He has a cone on his head because there was this drunk student who obviously thought it was amusing to put a cone on its head. The most common thought reason to why he put the cone on this statue out of all the statues in Glasgow was because its in the center of  Glasgow where everyone can see it. The night this happened the local police found out and went to take it off, but each night a cone got placed back on the head of the statue. The police put a thick podium underneath so they wouldn't be able to reach the head and climb up, the students somehow found a way to climb up.
