Two years ago we attended a meeting with the Provost in the city chambers and reached a provisional agreement for the life-sized, bronze statue to be sited near the McLennan Arch at Glasgow Green on the Saltmarket, facing the High Court and pointing. (2) crowdfunder.co.uk/p/campaign-for…

The inscription will be: "I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot." The campaign is currently seeking a new meeting to progress arrangements for the statue with updates to come. (3) crowdfunder.co.uk/p/campaign-for…

A prominent Scottish songwriter has pledged £10,000 which he will donate when we are in a closer proximity to reaching the total. Therefore, the present total target for the campaign is £38,942 - and so this is the target for 2026’s fundraiser. (5) crowdfunder.co.uk/p/campaign-for…

Maclean was not only Scotland's greatest socialist but is internationally renowned. Maclean is one of Scotland's heroes, yet the city which he called home is yet to pay the respect that he is due by commemorating his life & works with a public statue. (6) crowdfunder.co.uk/p/campaign-for…

As such, the Maclean campaign is appealing for donations both large and small. We encourage supporters to share the project on social media and promote it to family and friends - inviting them to make a donation and back this most worthy cause. (7) crowdfunder.co.uk/p/campaign-for…
