GLASGOW: GEORGE SQUARE.
Commercially, Glasgow is the real metropolis of Scotland. In ship-building it is well known that the Clyde yards lead the world; her chemical trade is immense, and two of its lofty chimneys at St. Rollox (35 feet), and Port Dundas (454 feet), are two of the highest buildings on the globe; her iron works, cotton works, engineering yards, and many other important industries, are of great magnitude. George Square is the centre of her civic life. In the centre is seen Ritchie's statue of Scott, at the head of a Doric column 80 feet high—the first erected to him in Scotland; and surrounding it are many others. The whole eastern side is occupied by the Municipal Buildings, the site of which cost £173,185, the total cost being £530,000. Another side of the Square is occupied by the plain but massive buildings of the Post Office.
