Crovie

Large ash wood carving 12 foot high, with metal elements. The artist's title is "Scottish Athena" - Athena being the ancient Greek - "Goddess of wisdom, practical skills and prudent Warfare" hence the metal head piece.
"I called her that because of the prudent warfare bit because of Crovie being the place where people went during the clearing of the highlands - I thought she could be a protector therefore up on that cliff top ready with her helmet piece. The steel eyes were to reflect the sky or sunset etc to give that timeless expression. Also because in another definition she was termed patron of the arts and the piece was done as part of a Thankyou to the companies who had donated or supported the Scottish Sculpture Workshop at Lumsden."
