Saw this on the BBC website.

A giant statue of a grouse is to be built on a Perth roundabout after getting council planning permission.

The 6.25m (20ft) high sculpture will depict the bird taking flight and is to be erected on the Broxden roundabout on the outskirts of the city.


It will be built from an open framework of galvanised steel by artist Ruaraig Maciver from Beltane Studios.

Perth and Kinross provost Dr John Hulbert said he hoped the grouse would become Perth's "Angel of the North".

The project is part of Perth's 800th anniversary celebrations. The grouse was chosen as a "symbol of Perthshire".

Perth whisky company Edrington Group has paid for the sculpture, which will sit on an 8m (26ft) high plinth at the A9-M90 junction.
