The John Gorman Statue, located on Rutherglen Main Street next to Rutherglen Old Parish Church, is a historic monument dedicated to Dr. James Gorman, a physician who provided essential care to the community long before the establishment of the National Health Service. Erected in 1901 and classified as a category B listing by Historic Scotland, the statue underwent a significant restoration to revitalize its appearance and highlight its importance in the region.
After years of neglect, the Rutherglen Community Council spearheaded efforts to restore the statue, raising over £3,000 for the project, which was carried out by Graciela Ainsworth Sculpture Conservation. The restored statue now stands as a fitting tribute to Dr. Gorman's legacy, allowing visitors and residents to appreciate its historical significance and the community's dedication to preserving their heritage.
