A magnificent tribute to the Hydro Electric workers who built the Glendoe Dam, this sculpture is not easily accessible, mounted high on the ridge of Glendoe with majestic views over the Glen and the Hydro Electric Dam. Special permission is required by anyone wishing to view it at close quarters, and it is not a walk for the faint hearted.
With a wing span of 12 feet, and weighing more than half a tonne, the sculpture is the creation of Boat of Garten artist Tom Mackie.
It is one and a half times life-size, and has been set into natural rock above the Glendoe dam.
The Glendoe hydro scheme was a massive undertaking that involved creating a huge reservoir and tunelling through solid rock for over five miles into the mountain landscape above Loch Ness.
