Legendary wizard Merlin added to list of famous Glaswegians

The legendary wizard Merlin has been added to a list of famous Glaswegians, it was revealed today.

Council chiefs have included the wizard, who featured in Arthurian legend, on a list of well-known figures who come from the city.

Merlin joins the likes of Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh and comedian Billy Connolly on the list, which is on the authority’s website.

A council spokeswoman explained the wizard had been added after an amateur historian suggested Merlin had lived there.
