The statue of Light & Life (95 Morrison Street)

 

95 Morrison Street, originally known as Co-operative House, was opened on 2 January 1897 as the headquarters of the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society. The building was designed by architects Bruce & Hay, with much of the exterior sculptural works by James Alexander Ewing. The original statue by Ewing, was known as 'Light and Life' however, the statue fell into disrepair and was removed.

On 16 June 2016, a replacement statue of Light and Life, created by sculptor Kenny Mackay and closely resembling the original, was reinstated at the top of the 150ft tall tower during the restoration of the building’s roof.The building has since been repurposed into apartments.
