Polkemmet Golf (2)

You wait for a round of golf for nearly 5-years, and then two come along in quick succession ;-)

And, into the bargain, the glorious weather certainly helped with an improvement in my score ...

... the snap is of Polkemmet Country Park's famous sculpture, which sits at the end of the Par 5, 4th fairway - more detail available here (& below):


The Horn, by Matthew Dalziel / Louise Scullion, 1997
 
Perhaps the most noticeable of all the sculptures is The Horn, located in Polkemmet Country Park in West Lothian.

The idea behind the 79ft-high stainless steel sculpture, which overlooks the motorway between Whitburn and Harthill, was to communicate with passing vehicles.

Commissioned by West Lothian Council and designed by Dundee artists Matthew Dalziel and Louise Scullion, The Horn broadcasts music, poetry and famous quotes at traffic on the west-bound carriageway in windy weather.

It was inaugurated in November 1997 by the chairman of the Scottish Arts Council, Magnus Linklater.
