Richard Kindersley

To commemorate the bi-centenary of Hugh Miller’s birth in 2002 the Cromarty Arts Trust raised £18,000 to commission the esteemed stone letter carver Richard Kindersley to carve a moving text written by Miller after having witnessed the Highland emigrants on the ships leaving Scotland for a new world. The stone now stands on the Links in Cromarty, and is a fitting and eloquent tribute to Hugh Miller, and a piece of public art of which the Trust is very proud. Richard returned in 2004 and again in 2005 to provide a four day workshop in Stone Lettering Techniques.
