"Glasgow's Literary Heart Given the city's storied literary heritage it is only fitting that its main central square is scattered with telling reference points. The square is populated with statues of greats including Robert Burns, Thomas Campbell and Sir Walter Scott and engraved into the paving stones outside the Concert Hall and Scottish Music Centre is poetry by another local hero, Edwin Morgan."
