Episode Details

Dundee artist Jacqueline Donachie has won a global competition to design a permanent memorial for Muriel Spark in Edinburgh’s Princes Street Gardens, inspired by Spark’s 1981 novel “Loitering with Intent.” Her minimalist, interactive sculpture will feature steps, nooks, and seating areas made of curved terrazzo, inviting visitors to linger and reflect. Drawing on Spark’s themes of espionage, secrecy, and resilient female characters, the piece aims to capture her mercurial wit and playful spirit. The design will be unveiled this autumn, with installation slated for autumn 2027.
