'Green Corridor' Concept Wins Public Vote For Sculpture at Auchinstarry Basin

'Green Corridor' Concept Wins Public Vote For Sculpture at Auchinstarry Basin

The results of the public vote are now in and we can reveal YOUR most popular choice for the new sculpture to be sited at Auchinstarry Basin, Croy, as part of The Waterways Trust Scotland's Scents & Sensitivities project.

The winning Design A, a representation in sandstone and green glass of the 'Green Corridor' that is the Forth & Clyde Canal which runs from East to West through the industrial heartlands of Central Scotland, received 38% of the public vote.

Artist Barry Grove, himself originally from Kilsyth, developed three alternative concepts to choose between. Work is already underway on the winning design which will be finished by November.

Thanks to everyone who voted
