One of a series of 12 herm portrait busts of Scottish poets, sited along the pathway at regular intervals on both banks. Each plinth has two information boards attached, one a short biography of the poet and the second an example of their work. This project celebrates great poets and their poetry and provides a series of commissions for Scottish sculptors. The project added four herms per year over three years.
