Loch Lomond – The Trossachs Interim Committee
Oct 2000 to Apr 2001
Balloch, Argyll & Bute
Within the realms of the National Park Gateway & Orientation Centre project at Lomond Shores in Balloch, this project commissioned seven artists to make new permanent work focussing on the Promontory as the site within the Lomond Shores development. The ambition was not to create a sculpture trail but to allow artists to make their interpretation of the site and to produce works which might integrate with the site.
