Two metal Highland cow sculptures will go under the hammer at a charity event tomorrow
The artworks, named Thelma and Louise, will be auctioned off on Friday 11 September to raise funds for The King’s Trust.
They were created by sculptor Kev Paxton from ArtFe, who builds works of art from redundant chains and salvaged metal sourced from across Scotland.
The auction is part of the 18th annual Lunch with an Old Bag event at Prestonfield House in Edinburgh.
The venue itself is home to a herd of real Highland cows.
Paxton, an Edinburgh-based blacksmith who established his business in 1999, often draws inspiration from nature for his work.
His company takes salvaged metal from all over Scotland and the UK to create pieces ranging from giant sunflowers to stags and party animals.
The annual lunch holds a record of raising £1m to support the youth charity.
The event has become a staple of the Scottish social calendar, raising over £9.3m in its 18-year history.
The King’s Trust helps young people build confidence and supports them into jobs, education, and training.
The charity, which supports 11 to 30-year-olds, provides practical and financial support to those who are unemployed, struggling at school, or facing issues like homelessness.
