Public Art on Elrick Hill - The Truth Is Out There

Looking for March Stones in the fold between the north slope of Brimmond Hill and the south slope of Elrick Hill, we caught sight of this collection of artifacts from a distance.


The dish-shapes immediately put us in mind of the dishes on the mast-structure on the summit of Brimmond Hill which they look across the valley of the Green Burn towards. The mast atop Brimmond Hill is part of the microwave relay network.


Getting closer, we were struck by the drama of this sculpture on its hillside location.





The saucer-shapes made us think of other 'out-there' stuff we've seen around here:

Other Aberdeen is a broad church - discourse is welcome. You're welcome to disagree with us, but do be polite. We hate it when people aren't polite.

One thing we really hate is hostile or disingenuous trolling and so comments like that will be removed. Unless of course we can use Kung Fu to turn the hostile or trolling comment to our advantage or entertainment.

We'll also remove any comments which promote commercial concerns, we hate that too. Ian Jamieson - don't do that again. Your obsequious over-solicitousness is a dead give-away and shows you to be a lazy dishonest twat attempting to hide your true motivation. Actually - that's *very* Aberdeen.

Oh, and don't abuse the facility to comment anonymously, or we'll just remove it.
