Edinburgh scheme's forgotten giant stone man sculpture becomes listed building

The historic remnants of a rare giant sculpture from the 70s left in an Edinburgh neighbourhood have become a C-listed building by Historic Environment Scotland (HES).

Hidden away by overgrown shrubs, what is left of the giant concrete Gulliver Sculpture has now been listed by Scotland's environmental body protecting the fascinating piece of history for generations to come.

The two surviving fragments of a once extensive concrete play sculpture known as Gulliver or The Gentle Giant are located beside the Niddrie Burn on the west side of Hunter's Hall Public Park.
