Three years afterwards, in 1834, Greenshields was urgently solicited to design a model of an erect figure for the Glasgow monument to the memory of Sir Walter Scott. This he rather hurriedly, not without reluctance, produced, and transmitted to the committee, and shortly after, when on his deathbed, received notice of its adoption (in preference to the designs of Forrest and Ritchie), an intimation he received without emotion or remark. This model was the last effort of Greenshields’ genius. The head and features of this figure were repeated from the sic sidebat statue done for Mr. Cadell in his premises in St. Andrew’s Square, Edinburgh, where it rested under the same roof with the greater part of the original MSS. of Sir Walter’s poems and romances. It was in an easy position, uncovered, in modern costume, resting on the left leg, the right being slightly advanced. The chest is tightly wrapped in a shepherd’s plaid, thrown over the right arm and shoulder. But strangely enough the artist, an Upper Ward man, has here made a mistake. The right shoulder is the wrong one for the plaid. This statue, not the best of the artist’s designs, was cut in stone by Ritchie of Musselburgh, and is by many attributed entirely to him. It is erected upon a pedestal eighty feet high, and is, as it deserves to be, the central and most prominent figure in George Square.
