George Square

George Square is at the heart of the city centre in Glasgow.  Originally built as a grand residential area, it now is a busy public space. 

Work began on transforming the swampy area in 1772, to create this plush residential area which would have private gardens. George Square was opened in 1787 and was named after King George III.

There are 12 statues in George Square ranging from Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and Queen Victoria. There is however not one of King George III. There was to be a statue, but after the prosperous tobacco trade with America slowed down, the plan for the statue disappeared.

Glaswegian architect William Young designed the impressive City Chambers.  Work began in 1882 and Queen Victoria opened the building in 1888.

The city chambers are said to have more marble than that of the Vatican. There is a large number of marble floors within the building.
