Lion of Carrick Options
This work was conducted by Hall Aitken as part of NCCBC’s Foundations for Recovery Programme.
Summary
Robert the Bruce was also known as the “Lion of Carrick” and in part the concept is to link the sculpture to the proposed 750th anniversary celebrations of Bruce’s birth (or forthcoming 700th anniversary of his death). Our work has involved commissioning some artistic development work leading to 2D visuals and a full three-dimensional maquette of the proposed sculpture, at the same time as exploring options for location, size and construction.
