Statue of William 'Buffalo Bill' Cody in Dennistoun, Glasgow.
This statue was erected in 2006 to mark 115 years since Buffalo Bill brough his wild west show to the east end of Glasgow, where they performed sell-out shows for four months.

The statues of George and Thomas Hutcheson on the front of Hutcheson Halls on Ingram Street in Glasgow. Carved in 1649 by James Colquhoun, and originally set in the garden of an earlier building, these are the oldest public sculptures which still exist in Glasgow.

In comparison, the point at which water freezes (zero degrees centigrade) is a balmy 273.2 k degees above Absolute Zero - something to bear in mind as you wake up to another frosty day here in William Thomson's adopted home town!

He is probably most famous for his work on defining Absolute Zero, the lowest possible temperature in the Universe, and for creating the Kelvin Temperature Scale which he used to meaaure it and which is still used to this day.

If you live in the west end of Glasgow, you'll no doubt have passed this statue which sits in the section of Kelvingrove Park that is just below Glasgow University, but do you know who it is a statue of?
This is Sir William Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin after the river which flows past his statue. Born in Belfast in 1824, he moved with his family to Glasgow in 1856.
