Cow Parade, Edinburgh Editorial Photo

Cow Parade is an international public art exhibit that began in 1999 and has been featured in major world cities. Sculptures of cows are decorated by local artists, and distributed over the city centre, in public places such as train stations, important avenues, and parks. They often feature artwork and designs specific to local culture. After the exhibition which may last many months, the statues are auctioned off and the proceeds donated to charity. This one stands in Princes Street gardens, Edinburgh
