Description

A welded metal sculpture of a cock salmon, if it was inspired by Andy Scott's nearby work I think the anonymous creator outdid that work with this piece that while being thoroughly contemporary has the resonance of the ancient Pictish Salmon symbol. It is to be hoped that its disappearance does not mean it has been destroyed by the sea or vandalism.
