Striding Arches
A series of huge red sand-stone arches, each weighing 27 tons, stride across the hilltops of Dumfriesshire. Andy Goldsworthy also made memorial arches that are in the United States, Canada and New Zealand. He says, 'The stone is a potent symbol of the Scots who went abroad, of the tremendous upheaval they made, or were forced to make, when they left Scotland... I would hope that collectavley these arches are a celepration and monument to the Scottish people and the travels they have made, and that they will act as a connection between those who left and those who have stayed here.'
