Did you know Frankenstein has a connection to Geneva? ⚡️🇨🇭
In 1816, Mary Shelley began writing Frankenstein while staying near Geneva with the poet Lord Byron and a group of friends.
This statue represents Frankenstein's creature, which also has a connection to Plainpalais in the story itself... (No spoilers from me here but does anyone else know this!? 👀)
A pretty cool statue piece of literary history to stumble across while exploring the city! 🖤
It is also around 6ft and is actually quite big and intimidating 😅😅
📍 Plainpalais, Geneva, Switzerland 🇨🇭
Would you have stopped to see this statue? 👀

Doesn't he normally kick about St Nicholas square in Aberdeen near the Virgin Money bank machines with a tinnie? 😂
