An incredible scrap metal sculpture commemorating the dead of the Great War is coming on loan to The Black Watch Castle and Museum this summer, sparking hopes it will make Perth even more of a visitor destination.
Known as ‘The Hauntings’, a giant metal sculpture of a war-weary soldier, will be on display at the award-winning Perth visitor attraction between July 1 and November 12, the only Scottish venue to host the artwork to date.
The Black Watch Castle and Museum asked for the sculpture on loan from its private owners as it is a vivid representation of the many World War One soldier stories currently on display at the museum.
Standing an imposing 6.5 meters high, the ghostly capped man of rust was commissioned for the World War One centenary in 2014 by a couple in Somerset, Jo Oliver and Paul Richards, to commemorate those who served in the war.
The inspiration behind the sculpture was the reported sightings of a ghostly soldier seen wandering around the Somerset hills close to where Jo grew up, perhaps looking for his way home.
The sculpture was made by metal sculpture specialists, Dorset Forge and Fabrication, a combination of the talents of blacksmith Chris Hannam and artist Martin Galvenby. It is made from over 1,000 pieces of locally sourced scrap metal including horseshoes, brake discs, and car jacks, and its intricate design allows the light to filter through his body giving a ghostly aura.
The sculpture has been on a tour, visiting England and Ireland and now Perth in Scotland will be its home until after Armistice Day on November 11.
Events to engage the public and tie into the soldier’s installation at the regimental museum are being planned at the moment.
Jo Oliver, owner of the sculpture said: “Many years have

Madeleine McCann appears to have ended her search for proof after receiving the results of a DNA test. Julia Faustyna, 21, made headlines earlier this year after posting a video to Instagram in which she claimed to be the British girl who disappeared, aged three, on a family holiday in Portugal. Ms Faustyna, who also goes by the last name Wendell, alleged her parents could not prove a biological link with her and ordered her genes be tested to show that she had British ancestry.
Chris Frantz Sire Records co-founder Seymour Stein was indisputably one of the greatest music executives of all time, with a career that spanned six decades and a rare ear for talent that led Madonna, Talking Heads, Lou Reed, Ice-T, Depeche Mode, the Pretenders, the Smiths, and many others to his label. Stein, who died on April 2 at the age of 80, is remembered here by Chris Frantz, drummer of Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club, who, with Tina Weymouth (now his wife), Jerry Harrison and of course David Byrne, signed with the label late in 1976. Seymour told this story many times. His first visit to CBGB’s on the Bowery was to see the Ramones. His wife Linda insisted that he see them because they were something new and fabulous and she thought he should sign them, which he did. He was standing outside the club on the sidewalk speaking with [Patti Smith’s longtime guitarist] Lenny Kaye, waiting for Ramones to go on when he heard the support band begin to play. “When my love stands next to your love….”

Lena Headey has landed a new gig.
Joe Otterson TV Reporter Lena Headey is set to star in Kurt Sutter’s upcoming Netflix series “The Abandons,” Variety has learned. The Western series was ordered at the streamer in October 2022. The official series description states: “As a group of diverse, outlier families pursue their Manifest Destiny in 1850s Oregon, a corrupt force of wealth and power, coveting their land, tries to force them out. These abandoned souls, the kind of lost souls living on the fringe of society, unite their tribes to form a family and fight back. In this bloody process, ‘justice’ is stretched beyond the boundaries of the law.” Headey will play Fiona, described as “a strong, devout matriarch who, unable to have her own children, took in four orphans to create her own family. Driven by a higher purpose – and a strong-willed Irish temper – her faith and love for her family trump all.”
Game of Thrones alumna Lena Headey has been tapped to headline Kurt Sutter’s Western action drama series The Abandons at Netflix.

Thania Garcia Myke Towers is eager for his fans to get their hands on his third studio album, “La Vida Es Una” (“Life Is One”). Though much of the 23-song set had been completed not too long after his last studio album, his 2021 major-label debut “Lyke Mike,” Towers purposefully held the record back to orchestrate a sense of delayed gratification that he says has been achingly difficult to maintain. “I know my fans are ready for original solo music but I wanted this to be a record that people could take their time with, really listen to and appreciate,” Towers tells Variety. “I think people had gotten used to my way of rapid releases. … It was like every week, there would be a new song or collaboration – and I wanted there to be a palpable difference between this record and ‘Lyke Mike.’”

Naming a young Black man’s story after a transport stop gives off strong Fruitvale vibes, but Aristotle Torres’ feature debut reaches back further to the hip-hop morality tales of the early ’90s, like Boaz Yakin’s Fresh or Ernest Dickerson’s Juice — the wave that immediately followed John Singleton’s influential Boyz n the Hood. Surprisingly, given Torres’ history of videos for the likes of Ludacris and Nas, the soundtrack is light on rap, using unexpected needle drops like Pavarotti’s version of “La Donna e Mobile” to score scenes of spray-can anarchy on the New York subway.
