Designating the remnant of the Gulliver Sculpture, Edinburgh

Overview

The left foot of the Gulliver Sculpture is among the last remains of an enormous concrete human figure play sculpture, conceived and completed between 1976 and 1978 for the Craigmillar Festival Society. Gulliver was largely demolished in 2011.

We are proposing to list the surviving remnant of the Gulliver Sculpture in Hunter's Hall Park, Edinburgh, at Category C to recognise its special interest as an important example of community-led public art in Scotland. We think it is a rare surviving marker of the work of the influential grass-roots regeneration initiative known as the Craigmillar Festival Society (1962-2002). 

We have launched this public consultation to gather views on listing the remnant of the Gulliver Sculpture.
