George Square
Glasgow, Scotland G40 1AT

The James Watt Statue is located in the southwest corner of George Square in Glasgow, Scotland. This monument honors James Watt, a significant Scottish inventor who remains one of the most recognized figures from Greenock over 200 years after his death.

The statue serves as a tribute to Watt's contributions to engineering and innovation. Visitors may notice the effects of time and nature, as the statue has been subject to pigeon droppings, a reminder of its outdoor setting.
