|
|
A 20-tonne sculpture - commissioned by The Glenmorangie Company to stand outside its new bottling plant in Livingston as a permanent reminder of its Highland roots - has been transported by a low-loader lorry from Glenmorangie's distillery in Tain to The Glenmorangie Company's new state-of-the-art bottling plant in Livingston.
Created over two years using only traditional hand tools, the sculpture explores the theme of re-discovery and depicts blowing leaves revealing a symbol of Pictish design and intricate knot-work, the origin of which dates back to 800AD.
The sculpture was carved from 300-million-year-old sandstone sourced from the area around Glenmorangie's Tain distillery.
