Glasgow heroes to get statue honour

TRADE union leader Jimmy Reid, inventor James Watt and television presenter Tom Weir are to be immortalised in steel on a new walkway in Glasgow.

The three figures won a public vote to have statues erected of them on the walking and cycling route linking the city's west end to Central Station.

They beat off competition from other famous Scots with links to the city including comic Billy Connolly and singer Lulu.
