The
statue Was Made by Alex Main who was a teacher at Thurso High
School. He Wrote - "I'm not sure the year it was made '92 '93? It
was cast in the Powderhall foundry in Edinburgh. The Neil Gunn Society
wanted a scene from Highland River, where young Ken has the struggle
and eventually poaches the salmon. They wanted an exact replica of the description in the book." Neil Gunn Links |
