Jupiter Artland, the art park and attraction outside Edinburgh, has announced two new permanent installations to mark its 10th year.
The new works will be made by Phyllida Barlow and Joana Vasconcelos.
The new season at the gardens will be from May 12 to September 30 next year - it is usually closed for the winter.
Jupiter Artland comprises five gallery spaces and a contemporary sculpture collection across 100 acres.
Barlow will launch the 2018 season with a trio of "magnificent" sculptures set within the woodland.
Vasconcelos will unveil a "fantastical, ornamental swimming pool installation" for the August launch.
Jupiter Artland Foundation, officially established as a charitable foundation in 2009 by collectors Robert and Nicky Wilson, has since commissioned 33 permanent works, presented new work by 12 emerging artists, has welcomed over 300,000 visitors, and has hosted over 49,000 free or subsidised visits through its ground-breaking learning programme.
In the past decade, artists including Charles Jencks, Pablo Bronstein, Marc Quinn, Anish Kapoor, Antony Gormley, Andy Goldsworthy, Anya Gallaccio, Cornelia Parker, Sara Barker and Christian Boltanski have been commissioned by Jupiter Artland to create new works created directly for the woodland and meadows.
Barlow is recognised for her monumental sculptural works that examine the relationship between objects and the space that surrounds them. Her new work will "ascend, mimicking and playing with the tree canopy, opening up to reveal a dappled skyline and expanded viewpoint."
It will be made from timber, steel and a coated concrete skin.
Vasconcelos will create a 9-metre long swimming pool installation.
The pool is covered by hand-painted Portuguese tiles and be set within the perimeter of Bonnington House’s Italian Garden, devised by garden designer Arabella Lennox-Boyd.

The Glasgow based contemporary artist Karla Black is to launch a solo exhibition at the Modern Art gallery in London.
The show will run from November 17 to December 16 this year.
The exhibition features a selection of new sculptures, consisting of materials such as petroleum jelly, paper, glass and plaster.
Many of the works in the exhibition are conceived and realised within the gallery space.
Karla Black lives and works in Glasgow.
She was born in Alexandria in 1972, and completed an MA in Fine Art at the Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow, in 2004.
In 2011, Black’s work represented Scotland at the 54th Venice Biennale, and was the same year nominated for the Turner Prize.

Almost 100 public proposals were staged in GoMA’s Gallery 1 during the five month run of Marlie Mul’s 'This exhibition has been cancelled.'
After the artist elected to cancel her exhibition and requested that the space remain empty throughout what would have been the exhibition’s run, the public were invited to propose creative ways to utilise the space.
Activities delivered by individuals, organisations and community groups ranged from tango, comedy, and human spirographs, to a childrens play day, a blogging workshop, and a songwriters open mic event.
A number of installations marked events including World Refugee Day, World Hepatitis Day, and Black History Month. GoMA also hosted a Draw Together event in the gallery space in June, as part of a nation-wide series of Great Get Together activities celebrating the memory of Jo Cox MP.
Almost 100 proposals were staged, which were seen by more than 106,000 visitors.
