Four weeks after it was stolen from a field, a Dunblane artist is overjoyed to be reunited with her fibreglass Highland cow sculpture.
Windy, the sculpture, was torn from its concrete base at Mains of Balhaldie before being lifted over two fences and driven away.
Windy was returned to her owner, Sarah Spofforth-McOuat, after she was contacted on social media.
Police Scotland is currently investigating the theft.
Sarah said: “I really thought she was gone for good, but I put it on my Facebook page and the power of social media just helped the case.
“I think it literally made her too hot to handle and I got her back, so it’s brilliant.”
Windy is based on a full-sized Highland cow and the thieves are believed to have used a jackhammer to free her from the concrete base.
Sarah said that apart from some minor damage, Windy was in relatively good condition.
Sarah said: “It’s a really nice end to the story. I’ve got her back for Christmas and I can get her all decorated up.
“I’ve had a lot of messages from people saying how pleased they are, and that they can wave to windy from the A9 again.”
