Summary
Traffic cones are suddenly popping up on Edinburgh’s historic statues, sparking a heated debate between locals and city officials. Inspired by Glasgow’s long-standing tradition and the Tartan Army’s World Cup antics, the trend has caught on — but Edinburgh’s council is pushing back, calling it unsafe and culturally off-brand. While some see it as harmless tourist fun, others argue it’s disrespectful imitation. The council’s already removing cones, insisting only one statue truly deserves the honor — and urging everyone to chill.
