Rod Wood, managing director of CWP Energy, said: “This is going to be a spectacle that embodies Scotland’s legacy of innovation and its commitment to green energy.
“The Star of Caledonia symbolises the brilliance of James Clerk Maxwell, the ‘Einstein of Scotland’.
“Einstein once said he stood on Maxwell’s shoulders, and this sculpture reflects that legacy of light, energy, and progress.
“It is more than just a sculpture, it’s a national statement.”
Alan Walker, treasurer of the James Clerk Maxwell Foundation, said the sculpture would be a “fitting tribute” as the bicentenary of his birth approached in 2031.
