The Skelpies
These 10-metre/33ft stainless steel sculptures by Ayrshire sculptor John McKenna stand on the banks of the River Clyde in Coronation Park, Port Glasgow as tributes to local shipbuilders.
The two workers are wielding riveting hammers and if you look closely their multi-faceted bodies are beautifully riveted or welded together.
The design was chosen by a public poll.
