Cumbernauld Angel

Sorry its such a poor pic, but I was coming back from Linlithgow and spotted it from the car, so its a moving shot. Here she is....her name is 'Arria' She cost £250,000, it was commissioned by Campsies Centre Cumbernauld Ltd (CCCL), a company established by North Lanarkshire Council to lead the redevelopment of the town.
Inspired by the town's original name, "comar nan allt", which means "coming together of waters" in Gaelic, it is hoped the work will help Cumbernauld start ridding itself of its dismal image that has seen it win the Carbuncle Award for poor architecture....."
That will not happen till every person in the generation that remembers the catch phrase "Whats it called.......Cumbernauld!" have shuffled off this mortal!

What does everyone think of this much money being spent on art when local authorities are in such strife? Please feel free to comment :)

PS There's a wee person in the foreground for scale!
