Art in the Forest

 

Come and see how artists have been inspired by Galloway Forest Park. The sculptures are found throughout the park and are waiting to be discovered; some are sited along popular routes, while others are hidden away. The Artworks range from "Journey" an earthwork labyrinth on the Raiders Road, the "Eye" a spire beside Black Loch and "Quick Water" is set into a lichen-covered drystane dyke beside the rolling Palnure Burn.
