David Livingstone (1813-1873) was a Scottish explorer and missionary who travelled over much of the African continent. He is most famous for discovering the Victoria Falls, a huge waterfall on the Zambesi River, in 1855. This statue, by John Mossman (1817-1890), was erected in George Square in 1879, and moved to Cathedral Precinct in 1959. Some of the friezes on the plinth show Livingstone preaching in Africa and exploring in the jungle.
