The giant head of a T-Rex has caused uproar in a picturesque seaside village after it appeared bursting from a roof in the heart of a conservation area.
The psychedelic dinosaur, which lights up at night, towers over parts of Cullen, Moray, after being put there by a local antiques dealer to “put a smile on peoples faces”. But it has not been met with the roaring success it was intended.
While some say it is “quirky” and “fun”, others have branded it ”tacky” and claim it is a “blight on the landscape” and “not in keeping” with the surrounding architecture. Now Moray Council has weighed in and John Webb, of Cullen Antiques Centre, who put up the former fairground figure 10 months ago, has been forced to submit a retrospective planning application.
