The winged man statue on the Russell Institute in Paisley is a striking example of both artistry and symbolism. With an imposing yet graceful presence, the statue represents aspiration and protection, embodying the ideals of health and care that the building was originally dedicated to.

Its detailed craftsmanship makes it a profound feature of Paisley's historical landscape.
The Russell Institute in Paisley features a striking bronze statue of a protective angel holding children in its arms. This statue symbolizes care and health, reflecting the building's original purpose as a child welfare clinic. Above the main doorway, there's also a maternal figure in bronze, flanked by shields representing the Paisley Coat of Arms and the serpent-and-staff symbol of Aesculapius, the god of medicine.
The sculptures were designed by Archibald Dawson, a talented sculptor whose career was tragically cut short. The building itself is an architectural gem, blending reinforced concrete with intricate bronze details. It's a fascinating piece of Paisley's history!
