The Edrington Group, owners of The Famous Grouse whisky has placed a giant wireframe sculpture of ‘The Grouse’, at Broxden roundabout in Perth to mark the city's 800th anniversary.

The sculpture was made by Ruaraig Maciver of Beltane Studios and was placed in situ on Sunday 21 November.

“We felt the wireframe design was the best approach because it looked elegant and nimble, but there was also the practicality of erecting a large sculpture (with raised wings) so high when winds can be extremely forceful in that area. The wireframe allows the air to circulate and causes less drag,” said designer, Gary Doherty.
