Sculpture installed at Threave Gardens, Castle Douglas
Last week I installed this large concrete form at Threave Gardens, a National Trust property near Castle Douglas, in SW Scotland.

The Trust are in the process of creating a sculpture garden here and many more works from Scottish based artists will arrive in May. http://www.nts.org.uk/Property/Threave-Estate/ http://www.gardens-guide.com/gardenpages/_0204.htm
