An “Angel of the North-East” could be built beside Aberdeen’s new bypass to welcome thousands of motorists every day.
A call has been made for the region’s civic leaders to commission a major work of public art and locate it next to the city’s Western Peripheral Route.
The proposal was widely welcomed last night amid hopes the north-east could soon boast its own version of the iconic Angel of the North at Gateshead or the hugely popular Kelpies at Falkirk.
But what do you think? Would an Angel of the North style piece of artwork boost the area or be a waste of money?
