The beloved Rexie the dinosaur has roared back to its familiar Fife surroundings this afternoon after more than three months way.

Council workmen lifted the eight foot high piece of town art back to his spot in the middle of Caskieberran roundabout in Glenrothes to the sounds of tooting horns and cheers from passing motorists.

The return of the iconic fiberglass Tyrannosaurus Rex come after it was nearly wiped out when a motorist crashed into the sculpture in December 2018, causing substantial damage.

Now, after repairs totaling £3000 carried out by Malcolm Robertson, the former Glenrothes town artist who created Rexie back in 1980, and after a new lick of paint and a new hard standing base for it to sit on, the sculpture is back where it belongs.
