Glasgow's newest statue has been given the city's 'highest honour' as a cone has been place on top.

The Charles Rennie Mackintosh masterpiece was unveiled on the 90th anniversary of his death, earlier this month.

The sculpture features Mackintosh sitting on the famous high-backed chair he designed for Glasgow's Argyle Street Tea Rooms.

And now an iconic orange traffic cone has been place on his head - Glasgow's 'highest honour' - by a passerby.

The photo was snapped this morning by commuters on their way to work.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon formally unveiled the statue, located on the corner of St Vincent Street and Elliot Street in Glasgow city centre on December 10.

It didn't take long for Glasgow pranksters to give the statue the cone treatment, made famous by the Duke of Wellington statue at Royal Exchange Square.

Never change Glasgow, never change.
