Next time I have a stroll down the Clydeside I'll have a gander or can you see it from The Waverley?

It's 'Rise' by Andy Scott. Allegedly based on the Greek goddess of the horse, and also a tribute to 'Kentigern', which the oldsters amongst you might remember from Buchanan Street.

Thanks, nwe, my favourite is The Heavy Horse. I love that stretch coming back from Edinburgh on the M8 when you see that gorgeous wee church and then a bit along the road the sculpture. Very dramatic - especially on a frosty winter's evening.

I see what you mean about Kentigern. The wings though remind me of a ships propellers. You are right about his other works, quite surprising.
