There are 6 sculptures spread across a valley at Glenkiln near Shawhead placed by the landowner starting in 1951. I only have a few poor photos, the first is by Henry Moore (Two piece reclining figure number 1).

More details can be found here http://www.visitsouthwestscotland.com/attractioninfo.asp?attractID=78



the next is John the Baptist by Rodin



thirdly (sorry for quality) King and Queen by Moore



the last I have any sort of image of is the Glenkiln Cross, also by Moore

I think King and Queen are my favourites here.

Quite unusual to see all these pieces of modern art in the wilds.
