Sculptor: Sharmanka et al

Date: 2001

Location: Tron Steeple, Trongate.

Description: On the West facing wall of the Tron Steeple is a sculpture of St Mungo, the patron saint of Glasgow.

It was designed and constructed by Sharmanka in 2001, a local company who specialise in kinetic sculpture design. The sculpture is activated on the hour when the steeple bell tolls.

A small bird pecks, a fish spins and St Mungo raises his staff. The bell, bird and fish are all emblems of Glasgow and feature on its coat of arms.
