Sculpture installation with sound, travelled to four venues in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The linear stainless stell sculpture can be adapted to the contours of each hill side as it is formed from thirty interchangeable lengths of steel. The sound, a lament played on the bag pipes overlaid by the words of a Gaelic poem, is activated by a sensor as people approach the sculpture. Music composed by Calum Campbell for the piece. Peom form the Casuina Gadelica. CD ROM of Legend available.
