Clackmannanshire Council have to date commissioned six public art works from Andy Scott. These include Stride and River Spirit.
A partner to the Collylands “River Spirit”, this sculpture is sited on a roundabout near Alloa in central Scotland and was the third work to be commissioned for the area.
It stands over 4 metres tall and is made of a welded steel mosaic. The figure strides purposefully towards the nearby Ochil Hills and has the Wallace Monument and Stirling Castle as a backdrop.


This art work has been adopted as a very successful landmark by the local communities surrounding the roundabout at Collylands near Alloa in Clackmannanshire. At almost 6 metres high, the sculpture combines themes of nature and the local area in a figurative composition. The female figure evolves from a tree like structure and she holds a profile of the nearby River Forth out towards the Ochil Hills which she faces. This is intended to evoke the notion of earth and water and was joined by a partner sculpture in 2008.
