Glenkiln Sculpture Park is a sculpture landscape in Dumfries and Galloway, south-west Scotland. After one of the bronze statues was stolen all the statues except the Glenkiln Cross have been removed. It comprises six sculptures placed in a moorland setting around Glenkiln Reservoir.〔(Glenkiln Sculptures ), Visit Southern Scotland〕 The sculptures are located around north-west of Shawhead, and west of Dumfries.
