Stones Swim to Islands by Ian Stephen

Inspired by the story of St Torran and his landing on Benbecula by curragh, the sculpture also remembers an old Danish fishing boat called "Fear Not".

The artist placed ballast-like stones around the oak timbers, and devised an ongoing project where pupils will continue to collect stones and record their finds in a special log book.

The Gaelic name of the work is carved onto the central timber "Clachan a' Snamh gu Eileanan", reflecting on ; the St Torran story and the movement of ballast stones in vessels which travelled the world.

Part of the Roadends Project 1998-2000 The Roadends project involved four artists and four different Communities. The communities provided a location, ideas, and in many cases, a tremendous amount of assistance. The project set out to widen people's experience of art in the environment, while encouraging people to visit some of the beautiful and less-visited parts of the island. The project was funded by The Scottish Arts Council National Lottery Fund and Western Isles Enterprise.
