Travel and see!

Arria is her name and she is now welcoming the entrance to the Scottish town of Cumbernauld, a symbol at once of its aspirations and potential for renaissance.


Created by the artist Andy Scott. It is believed that the sculpture will give a boost to the town, towards which Arria’s arms are outstretched. The artist’s inspiration for the work came from the idea of using the past, as a way to look towards the future, and as such the piece severs as a visual metaphor for the aspirations of the local community. We have all seen what and how art changes a community. ~Congratulations~ Andy and Cumbernauld, thank you for sharing.
