Scotland's biggest city Glasgow has dropped plans to lift up a celebrated statue to stop jokers putting traffic cones on its head, after more than 10,000 people signed a petition in protest.

The city's council had planned to spend £65,000 ($111,000) to lift the plinth on which the majestic Duke of Wellington stands, in a bid to stop a tradition that it said gave Glasgow a "depressing" image.

   Does anyone really think that a raised plinth will deter drunk Glaswegians?

Erected in central Glasgow in 1844, the statue shows the 19th-century British war hero sitting proudly on his horse, but students and revellers regularly delight in placing a bright orange traffic cone on his head.

The council said that by raising the plinth to 1.8 metres, it would "deter all but the most determined of vandals".
