Glenkiln Sculpture Park

Glenkiln Sculpture Park is a sculpture landscape in Dumfries and Galloway, south-west Scotland.

After one of the bronze statues was stolen all the statues except the Glenkiln Cross have been removed.

It comprises six sculptures placed in a moorland setting around Glenkiln Reservoir.^[1] The sculptures are located around 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) north-west of Shawhead, and 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) west of Dumfries.

Between 1951 and 1976, local landowner Sir William Keswick (grandson of William Keswick) assembled a collection of works by Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore, and Jacob Epstein.^[2] Keswick worked with the artists in siting their works in a natural landscape, and commissioned works.^[3]

On 13 October 2013, the BBC reported that Standing Figure had been stolen.^[4]

All the sculptures except "Glenkiln Cross" have been removed for security reasons on police advice and are no longer available to view.^[5]

The sculptures are:

• Saint John the Baptist (1878) by Auguste Rodin
• Visitation (1926) by Jacob Epstein
• Standing Figure (1950) by Henry Moore
• King and Queen (1952–53) by Henry Moore
• Upright Motive No. 1: Glenkiln Cross (1955–56) by Henry Moore
• Two Piece Reclining Figure No.1 (1959) by Henry Moore

There is also a memorial to commemorate the diamond wedding of Sir William and Lady Keswick.
