Sculpture in Hunter Street

Earlier this week, a constituent contacted me about the sculpture of a violin bridge that the university used to have on display in Hunter Street (just north of Old Hawkhill). When the building work started some months ago, the sculpture was removed. He asked what was happening to it?
Very prompt replies from the University Secretary and the City Council Director of Planning & Transportation. The Secretary to the University advises:
"The sculpture is in storage at the moment. We do plan to exhibit it again in due course, either on the campus or at the Botanics, but not till after the major works underway on the campus at present have been completed. I'm afraid I can't give you a timescale at present."
