Thanks, Pete. It’s part of the 7 Stanes bike trails in the forests. The map on the sculpture shows all the places around the world granite from Dalbeattie was sent – including the Thames Embankment, Eddystone Lighthouse and a lighthouse at the southernmost tip of Sri Lanka.
Thanks, Maggie. It is certainly peaceful. We were walking for about two and a half hours and in all that time met one woman walking her dogs and two cyclists.
Thanks, Robbie, glad you enjoyed them. It took me a moment to think which photo you meant. I hadn’t seen it as a teapot before. It’s a tree stump, covered in moss. Someone has placed some stones on the trunk and the moss has grown over the stones. I saw it as some kind of forest dwelling creature with a long nose 🙂
I did wonder when I said teapot, if you would know which one, Mary. It is amazing how we all see things differently and when I saw it, I immediately saw teapot.
Mary, I can just imagine you did a double take as you came across this glorious giant heart stone sculpture! 😀 It fits in seamlessly with the landscape which is beautiful.

That’s a cool stone, Mary. I can’t help but wonder if somebody has had their heart knocked out.

It’s carved from granite which used to be quarried in Dalbeattie, Willow, and sent all over the world.

Glad you enjoyed the walk, John. I enjoyed finding the heart sculpture. I knew it was in the forest but had never come across it until last weekend.
