Sculpture at Tyrebagger is a series of contemporary artworks specially commissioned for an area of Kirkhill Forest and the adjacent Elrick Hill, just outside Aberdeen.

Tyrebagger Wood is a mature forest with firs, larch, spruce, pine and a mixture of broad-leaved trees throughout. Elrick Hill, in contrast to the planted forest, offers an open space of rough heathland. It is said to have been given to the city of Aberdeen by Robert the Bruce in the 13th century. It is an even sided, conical hill of about 70 hectares, thickly covered in mature heather, bracken and blaeberry. The sculptures are distributed throughout the area and connected by a series of paths. Three car parks are available for the increasing number of visitors to what is a fascinating place.

Sculpture at Tyrebagger is supported by the Scottish Arts Council National Lottery Fund, Forest Enterprise (an agency of the Forestry Commission), Aberdeen City Council, Scottish Enterprise (Grampian), Aberdeen Countryside Project Ltd, and is managed by the Tyrebagger Trust.
