Star of Caledonia: New sculpture being made for the Scotland-England border

It’s not the first time this landmark to mark the border between England and Scotland has been attempted.

A competition to design the structure was won in 2011 by artist Cecil Balmond, but building it was put on hold because of funding issues.

His structure – the Star of Caledonia – represents James Clerk Maxwell, otherwise known as the ‘Einstein of Scotland’.

Loads of the technology we use today relies on the ideas he came up with.

Work on the illuminated sculpture will start in March 2026 and is due to be completed by the spring of 2027.
