Call for Statue
In 2013 a campaign was started by the Remember Mary Barbour Association to commemorate her achievements with a statue placed in Govan. The campaign has garnered support from Glasgow City Council, Nicola Sturgeon , the Scottish Parliament , and Alex Ferguson.

In September 2015 five sculptors were shorlisted to produce a maquette to convey their vision of a fitting statue. Public showings of the set of five maquettes were scheduled to take place from November 2015 through February 2016, at various locations commencing at the Pierce Institute in Govan.

To reach the the Association's fundraising target, several events have been been arranged in 2016.
