As you walk around the steading remember to look up as well as around or you may miss the carved stone sculptures that speak both about the history of the site and to its new life at the heart of the community.

Click the link below to read all about their creator Jack Handscombe and keep your eyes peeled for his latest piece that will be placed above the North pend, facing the argyle bridge.

For centuries, the lion has been one of Scotland’s most enduring symbols. For Edinburgh sculptor @realkennyhunter , it was the clear choice as the central figure for a new monument to the @theroyalregimentofscotland_(SCOTS).

The SCOTS lion has now found its home in Princes Street Gardens, where it was recently unveiled by His Majesty The King in a ceremony marking the 20th anniversary of SCOTS, the only remaining Scottish line infantry regiment in the British Army.

In the latest issue of Edinburgh Life, we speak to Kenny Hunter about the story behind the SCOTS lion, his approach to public sculpture, and the contrast between the singularity of the artist and the collective identity of the armed forces.

Read the full story in the latest issue of Edinburgh Life. Order your copy or subscription via the link in our bio.

Monument for the Royal Regiment of Scotland's 20th anniversary.

It has been incredible honour to work with Kenny Hunter on the stone pedestal for his monumental Bronze, unveiled on the 1st of July by King Charles III.

Developed from Kenny's concept, the pedestal is formed from six interlocking stones representing the antecedent regiments, bound together by two keystones. The west keystone bears the Regiment's name and formation date, while the east is carved with the regimental cap badge of a lion Rampant and Saltire.

Having come to Edinburgh where I studied sculpture in the department then headed by Kenny, its been an honour to add to the fabric of the city that has played such a Formative part in my life with a sculptor I have long admired

1&2: getting a studio after finishing my masters, which is great except for the horrible green walls which make all my paintings look bad
3&4: doing my MA! Looking suspicious in the studio w @hannah___cash (pic @harrrima)
5&6&7: participating in 12 shows with some lovely and talented people
8&9&10: meeting the best boy in the world Louis the bulldog and becoming a paid doggy sitter
