The Duke of Wellington statue is rocking a daring new look after someone removed his traffic cone

The Duke of Wellington statue has sported a number of scene-stealing looks over the last couple of years.

From a Lewis Capaldi mask, balloons and an Adidas-inspired cone, the old Duke likes to change it up from his usual traffic cone from time to time, impressing passers-by in the Merchant City. 

But one daredevil kicked his trademark look up a notch after his cone was removed this week.

A Tweet shared by Scottish Banter shows the old Duke rocking a stack of EIGHT cones – and his horse has one to boot. Does that make the noble steed a Unicone? Or a Trafficorn? Who can say.

 We have to say, that takes some skill... We salute you, Cone Gatherer.
