The Vital Spark by George Wyllie in the grounds of Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow. A reminder of the days of Clyde Puffers and Neil Munro's Para Handy books. Unfortuantely it seems to have lost its plaque at some point in the last couple of years.

"More steam, MacPhail, you blaggard!"
Monument celebrating the wonderful Clyde Puffer, as seen in Para Handy, by the canal marina at Kirkintilloch. Many were built & launched from this spot, one upon a time.

I don't know if you realise that is a famous boat or, rather, puffer.
It is called the "Vital Spark" and was used for the television series, which dramatised the adventures of Para Handy & his crew.
I photographed the puffer a few years ago, when it was moored in the Crinan Canal awaiting restoration. Looks like it is still awaiting restoration...
