Approval for Border sculpture

A 120ft-high sculpture planned to be sited on the Border between Scotland and England has been given planning approval.

The Star of Caledonia, designed by Dumfriesshire artist Charles Jencks and designer Cecil Balmond, has moved one step closer to being built in a £5 million scheme.

The Gretna Landmark Trust now needs to find extra funding for construction this year.
