Cumbernauld’s Arria celebrates her first anniversary

CUMBERNAULD’S very own silver lady marks a milestone in her existence.

Your News and Chronicle has a special feature on Arria, including the views of everyone from the talented sculptor who brought her into being to the ordinary man and woman in the street.
