Sculptor, Stan Wilson, has died peacefully aged 87.
Stan, who was brought up at Rachan and had a great attachment to the area and the Broughtonknowe Woodland project, originally donated a stunning organic sculpture he had carved from Portland stone, which is fittingly installed by the reeds at the edge of the main pond.
Stan further donated and installed two more of his sculptural works. Two figures in white Portland stone and black Kilkenny marble entitled ‘One Nation’ symbolise unity and our extended welcome to all who visit. An iron facsimile of a helmeted head looks onto our adjacent Iron Age hill fort, the intention being to draw attention to our associated archaeological past.
We are not the only people to have appreciated this wonderful landscape.
