“Our beautiful new stone seat with a fantastic view into the Glen and waterfall was unveiled on the 20th September 2016 by Graham Philp Manager of the Local Scotmid store and Patricia Edington the firms Membership and Community Manager at a short unveiling ceremony .
The creation of this seat was made possible by a generous grant from the Scotmid Community Grant scheme and also the skills of the highly talented members of the Dry Stone Wallers Association ( South East Scotland Branch). 4 members of the Dry Stone Wallers Association took the best part of a weekend to build the seat from scratch . It was amazing to see 4 tons of random stone transformed into this magnificent seat. As one stone waller member said ” It is like making up a jigsaw where all the pieces don’t fit!”
Our Chair, Neil McKinlay made a short speech at the unveiling ceremony welcoming everyone and thanking all those involved in the creation of the seat which he said is already being used by locals and visitors alike and will continue to do so for many years to come.
