Glenkiln Sculpture Park is a sculpture landscape in Dumfries and Galloway, south-west Scotland.
After one of the bronze statues was stolen all the statues except the Glenkiln Cross have been removed.
It comprises six sculptures placed in a moorland setting around Glenkiln Reservoir. The sculptures are located around 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) north-west of Shawhead, and 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) west of Dumfries.
