WhereA ArtI update: Well done all who told me my sketch was a tortoise sculpture from Edinburgh Zoo, I found him sitting on a wall at the bottom of some steps, behind the sun bear enclosure. There at the weekend I thought it would make a lovely ‘WhereArtI’ sketch to celebrate the zoo’s one hundred year birthday, which was on Monday. The sculpture, by John Ramsay, is lifesize so you may of missed him as you walk around the zoo. John has worked for the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland for over 27 years on many of the animal enclosures at both Edinburgh Zoo and Highland Wildlife Park. Over the years he discovered he had a talent for creating beautiful animal sculptures out of scraps of old metal, many of which have homes around the Zoo. His creations include amazingly ornate gates, ladybirds, monkeys and my favourite, the tortoise. Has anyone seen the others?
