A SCULPTURE of a looming figure that rises from the waves to stand nearly three metres tall has been returned to its Lochside home.
The statue, by artist Rob Mullholland, was installed on the bank of Loch Earn at St Fillans in Perth and Kinross last year but had to be taken down after being battered by 110 mph winds and high tides during the winter.
Titled 'Still', the distinctive artwork is made from hundreds of mirrored tiles and is known locally as Mirror Man. It was funded by the Four Seasons Hotel, and can be found in the East corner of Loch Earn, by the A85.
Hotel owner Andrew Low said: "We are all delighted to see 'Still' back in the water, we have missed his presence over the last couple of months and hope that he will remain here for a number of years.
"We would like to thank Rob for firstly creating such a beautiful sculpture and, secondly, taking so much care to repair him after the extreme weather we experienced at the start of the year."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
