The businessman behind a controversial mural planned for a Glasgow street has said artificial intelligence will have nothing to do with the finished design.
Glasgow City Council approved a proposal from Derek Paterson to create the mural on a wall in the city's Elmbank Street.
However a suggested design, which Paterson says will represent Scotland's heritage, was mocked and criticised online for its usage of AI. This included having a bald eagle in the image - a bird not native to Scotland.
Paterson told BBC Scotland News the image was an indicative drawing rather than a finished design, and an artist would have free reign on the mural.
He added that he had received considerable abuse online for the proposal, and that the local artist hired had several pieces of work already displayed in the city.
