this new sculpture by George Wyllie one of the UK's best and most
imaginative sculptors. The sculpture will be in place long after
the the festival has passed.
The sculpture has been made from Caithness
stone with steel additions. The Vent window represents a link to
the new Scottish Parliament with the ancient Parliament of Iceland The sculpture is situated
on a small headland near Thurso on the road to Scrabster. It is
easy to find if you keep an eye out on the right hand side as you drive
to Scrabster. |
