You may recall my previous post about the John Galt Fountain, showing the damage that had been done when the previous sculpted profile had been removed. Thankfully, Greenock now has at least a modest monument to this great man. Wayne Darnell was the sculptor responsible for the new addition.
John Galt died in Greenock on this day, 11 April in 1839. He died in his sister's house at the corner of Westburn Street and West Blackhall Street. He is buried in Greenock's Inverkip Street Cemetery.
And what a fine head of hair he has, too!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see a city that cares about its monuments.
