West Lothian scale-model of Solar System

In the 1770s, during the so-called Scottish Enlightenment, the 11th Earl of Buchan created a scale-model of the Solar System, as they knew it at that time. In the last few years, a group of artists have created a new scale model of the Solar System, inspired by the Kirkhill Pillar, which was part of the original model.

You can see and read more about it at the project website, which contains videos with the artists and other local participants.

Below are photos of each of the sculptures and artworks that my wife and I visited on Saturday as part of our 30th anniversary celebration day. We saw the Neptune artwork at Kingscavil Church on Sunday (21st), and I photographed it on Tuesday (23rd).
