Mary Barbour

Infamously, the British Army turned its guns on the demonstrators, killing six in the Glasgow crowd.

Mandela's life-size likeness joins that of Mary Barbour in the city's Govan district, home to its renowned shipbuilding yards.

Barbour was the trailblazing early 20th century organiser of rent strikes, who, as well as decent housing, championed gender equality and social welfare, notably health provision for children.

And on the city's major thoroughfare, the Brumelow, the La Pasionaria memorial commemorates the thousands of Scottish volunteers who gave their lives fighting against 1930s fascism in the Spanish Civil War.
