## Resource

Traffic cones are suddenly popping up on Edinburgh’s historic statues — from the Duke of Wellington to Sherlock Holmes — sparked by a viral trend from Boston football fans. But beneath the playful vibe lies serious concern: climbing these listed landmarks risks damage, injury, and costly restoration. With council resources already stretched thin, authorities are urging locals to celebrate without endangering heritage or themselves. These monuments have stood the test of time — let’s keep them standing by respecting their history.
