Visitors to Broughty Ferry Library in recent days might have noticed that the sculpture of the older gentleman sitting on a bench with a book, being approached by a cat, has been removed. The picture shows the space where it should be located.
No need to worry, it’s only been taken away for some repair work to be carried out.
The sculpture, by David Annand, was commissioned by Broughty Ferry Art Society and erected in the grounds of the library in 1992. It was brought to my attention by a member of the society that a couple of the straps at the back of the bench were broken and there was rot in some of the wood. I contacted the council about it and the environment department has uplifted it for repair.
