Kelton the Wicker Beltie has returned to Castle Douglas.
The one-tonne artwork was created by Trevor Leat to celebrate the Royal Highland Showcase in 2021 and appeared in the town during the Bike and Food Festival in August.
He’s now travelling across the region after spending the winter with the National Trust for Scotland.
Tuesday saw him return to Market Hill in Castle Douglas ahead of Stewartry Show, which will take place at Stewartry RFC’s Greenlaw home on August 4.
Castle Douglas Development Forum Chairman Carolyn Yates said: “Its great to welcome Kelton back to Market Hill.
“It seems very appropriate he is here, the home of Wallets livestock market and the Galloway Cattle Society. He’s already attracting a lot of attention from visitors and locals alike.”
Funding for Kelton came from a variety of sources including the Galloway Glens Scheme.
Team leader McNabb Laurie said: “Kelton is building excitement in the town before he heads out to sample the grass on the fields of the Stewartry Show on August 4.”
