Edinburgh plans for giant head sculptures approved for St James Quarter

A pair of giant head sculptures commemorating two prominent artists will be the newest addition to Edinburgh's St James Quarter as plans are approved by the council.

The 12 foot-tall artwork will take pride of place in the city centre on the steps leading from St James Square to the entrance of the shopping and leisure complex, by the W Hotel.

Designed by sculptor David Harber and built up using a series of 'laser cut uprights', 'On the Shoulders of Giants' will appear different to the observer depending on their position on the stairs.
