Livingston Landmark Project
In 1996 Livingston was due to lose its New Town status, and prior to winding-up the Development Corporation undertook a programme of Public Art Works. The Landmark Project was one of the last commissions undertaken by the Corporation.
New Towns have by their nature and lack of traditional landmarks been difficult for visitors to navigate around. The purpose of the 'sculptures' was to give the roundabouts a distinctive character and so help to improve orientation and direction around the town.
The 4 roundabouts are positioned on the main approaches to Livingston New Town, West Lothian, Scotland and are all made from reclaimed dyking stone, black whin, yellow limestone and copper. Design
