"A 13-FOOT-TALL sculpture of two clasped hands is set to be one of the most photographed in the region.

Created by County Durham artist Ray Lonsdale from weathering steel – the same material as the Angel of the North – The Big Dance has been moved into place in the sculpture garden at the World Famous Blacksmith Shop in Gretna Green.".
