This rather brilliant grotesque is set into a wall in front of the former Superintendent's House in Overtoun Park in Rutherglen, just to the south of Glasgow.

It's one of three similar grotesques which are thought to have originally come from Overtoun House near Dumbarton. Lord Overtoun, who owned the house, donated the land on which Overtoun Park now stands to make up for the contamination from his White's Chemical Works.
