The Star of Caledonia, also called the Gretna Landmark, is a planned sculpture designed by Cecil Balmond, Charles Jencks and Andy Goldsworthy.

[3][4] It is hoped that the sculpture will attract visitors, boosting tourism, and result in social and economic benefits to the area.

For the past seven years, meetings have been held with Scottish academics, cultural thinkers and the local community in a series of seminars and workshops run by the Gretna Landmark Project which resulted in the appointment of international architect Charles Jencks as the Trust's Creative Director.

[9] It was also hoped that the sculpture would be built in early 2014, in time for both the 2014 Commonwealth Games and 2014 Homecoming Scotland, and only taking a year to build.

[1][2][16][17] The sculpture is to be in a star shape and to be made of galvanised steel and illuminated at night at its tips using "subtle lighting".

[1] The Gretna Landmark Trust have said that the sculpture's aim was to be "visually spectacular but meaningful, relating strongly to place and identity".

[16] Although no objection occurred to the planning application,[2] the design and proposal of the Star of Caledonia has received a mixed reception.

[17] However, there has been some criticism by local artists and some architectural firms[17][18] The sculpture was subsequently included in a campaign to raise awareness of James Clerk Maxwell.
