Dead center in Glasgow's financial district is a square devoted to statues of many key figures, including Queen Victoria, Robert Burns (Scotland's national poet), James Watt (inventor of the steam engine), and Scotland's favorite son, renowned author Sir Walter Scott. This attractive square is flanked by ornate Renaissance-style buildings and this is a great place to take a sightseeing breather while learning about key historic figures. This is also a popular meeting place for locals.
