The Horn by Matthew Dalziel and Louise Scullion at Polkemmet Country Park, near Whitburn, West Lothian. Picture: Alamy EVEN if you have never stepped foot inside Polkemmet Country Park, you are likely to be familiar with the eye-catching public art installation that stands at its north-east fringe: The Horn. The 79ft-high stainless-steel structure beside the M8 motorway near Whitburn is often likened to the warbling trumpet in Teletubbies, the BBC children s series that was all the rage when the distinctive sculpture by artists Matthew Dalziel and Louise Scullion was unveiled in 1997. This little corner of West Lothian has no shortage of gems: the Scottish Owl Centre, a golf driving range, bowling green, orienteering course, adventure play area and a former colliery steam engine, as well as pretty, meandering woodland trails.
