A Monument to Maternity by George Wyllie on the the site of the former Rottenrow Maternity Hospital in Glasgow. It was originally created for Mayfest in 1996, and was permanently installed at its current site in 2004. Born in Shettleston in 1921, Wyllie was a self-taught artist and pioneering social sculptor. He created a number of Glasgow's quirkiest and best-loved public sculptures.
