This iconic central city square was turned into a 1940s film set for Frank's memorable proposal to Claire in season one. The scene included old-fashioned cars and old-fashioned outfits, with the men trooping around the square wearing trenchcoats amid the real-life architecture we see in the area today.

Named after King George III and initially laid out in 1781 but not developed for another twenty years, George Square is surrounded by architecturally important buildings including on the east side the palatial Municipal Chambers, also known as the City Chambers, whose foundation stone was laid in 1883, and on the west side by the Merchants' House. Built by Glasgow Corporation, the Chambers are the continuing headquarters of Glasgow City Council. Joseph Swan's panoramic engraving of 1829 shows the early development of the square and its surrounding buildings.

George Square is the square pedestrian precinct in the city centre of Glasgow and is right in front of the Glasgow city chambers. It is handy for transport as it is surrounded with bus stops and Queen street train station is on the corner. As a child I used to enjoy a visit to George Square on a pleasant day to sit on the grass, feed the pigeons and have a climb on the two huge lion sculptures which I think are a war memorial. Unfortunately the fun police don't allow the climbing or feeding the pigeons. To add to the downside there are a group of people who look like crack heads standing about every day with placards which I'm sure they can't read protesting such a wide range of things it makes it pointless. I think they may be wayward Q-anon nutters. It's a nice place when the Christmas lights are being turned on but watch out for pickpockets. You are no longer allowed to sit on the grass and enjoy your lunch either. I wonder how long it'll be before BLM want to remove Nelson's Column. There used to be running battles up and down the Queen street side between city neds until a local ned got a lengthy sentence for hitting someone with a cleaver. The ground is paved red too probably so you can't see the blood flowing. It's a good place to access the rest of Glasgow city centre from and always loads of police to keep you safe in the square. The G.O.M.A is right there too, that is the gallery of modern art an excellent free attraction for all ages. Just try to stay away from the skaters, goths and chavs outside the main entrance, they are a dangerous lot and will steal from you if they...
