The world's only 2-legged equestrian statue was erected in Woodlands Rd in 1992 to commemorate Bud Neill, a genius in a characteristically Scottish surrealist tradition. The inscription on the statue reads 'Statue erected by public subscription on May 1st 1992 to the memory of Bud Neill, 1911-1970, cartoonist & poet, creator of Lobey Dosser, Sheriff of Calton Creek, his sturdy steed El Fideldo, resident villain Rank Bajin, and many other characters.' See Lobey Dosser Day |
