We are very pleased to see the much loved outdoor sculpture, Girl, by Reg Butler return to the Botanic Gardens.

The sculpture, which is on extended loan from the National Galleries of Scotland, has been reinstalled in the pond in front of Inverleith House, where it previously stood.

Girl was displayed in this pond until the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art moved in 1984, from Inverleith House (its founding home from 1961 to 1984) to its present home on Belford Road.

Here are some images of the scultpure being reinstalled in the Botanic Gardens:
