BEAR Scotland staff found the giant gorilla statue on the A92
A giant gorilla statue which was stolen from a Lanarkshire garden centre a year ago has been reunited with its owner.
The 8ft (2.4m) fibreglass ornament, named Gary the Gorilla, was reported missing from Reynard Nursery in Carluke last March.
In the weeks that followed a similar primate was spotted tied to a trailer on motorways across England.
But it was later established that this was actually a "brother" made by the same manufacturer.
Bear Scotland staff working on the A92 in Fife discovered Gary in a layby and reunited it with its owners after reading a BBC Scotland News article about the theft.
They then tracked down the garden centre on social media and arranged for it to be collected by owner Andrew Scott.
