Rob Mulholland’s mirrored figures, The Sentinels, are likely to stop you in your tracks as you walk round Alloa and you can follow the Andy Scott Sculpture Trail through Clackmannanshire, having fun trying to decipher these unusual artworks. The Loch Ard Family Sculpture Trails near Aberfoyle can be explored on foot or by bike.
