Knife Angel statue, 2 December 2024 - 13 January 2025
Perth is the first city in Scotland to host the Knife Angel, a giant statue made of confiscated blades used to warn against the dangers of violence and aggressive behaviour.
The statue is made from 100,000 seized weapons, the 8.2 metre-tall (27 feet) Knife Angel was created by the British Ironworks Centre and has been on display in towns across England and Wales.
The unveiling ceremony was held on 2 December 2024. This is the first time the statue has been displayed north of the border.
The statue is being displayed outside Perth Museum on King Edward Street throughout December.
The statue will be lit up at night and a photographic competition is running throughout December, asking people to share photographs of the statue in position in Perth.
A Book of Reflections, remembering the victims of knife crime is also available to sign throughout December.
