Thirsty hippopotami

Uploader's Comments

Six hippos, emerging from the River Leven and looking for a pool to drink from, make an unusual sight in this Glenrothes park. These concrete animals, made from a mould designed in the early 1970s by Stanley Bonnar (an art student at the time, who later became Town Artist of East Kilbride) were located here by Glenrothes Town Artist David Harding in 1976.
