The Big Bird Arrives in Perth

The Grouse Statue has arrived at a car park near its final home -- the Broxden Roundabout. The body was driven up from Peebles first thing; the wings and came from the galvanizers in Coatbridge. The team did a great job putting it all together. The bolts were fixed with power drivers so the suggestion that some drunken jobs might climb up one night and leave one of their number trapped inside is actually impossible.

By the way, the team decided to pre-empt the idea that some other bright spark might try to put a "hat" on the bird -- so it's already been photographed with a traffic cone on its head.
