Giant Thistles artist and blacksmith Kev Paxton, the creator of the two, said: “Dougal has been an absolute pleasure to work with but Flo is a feisty wee sow – and to be honest I’m not surprised she’s gone awol.

“Poor Dougal is heartbroken and has been reciting Rabbie Burns inspired poems in a bid to try and convince Flo to come back to him; but she’s wild, so who knows what will happen. I only hope she won’t end up on plate being piped into a Burns Supper tonight.”
