Weir’s way
Glasgow-based design company Eat Haggis has teamed up with the Tom Weir Statue Campaign to release a t-shirt and limited edition print celebrating everyone’s favourite bobble hatted hill walker. The Tom Weir Statue Campaign aims to raise around £50,000 for the creation of a bespoke sculpture of the late Scottish climber and much loved TV presenter. December 2014 would have been Tom’s centenary and the campaign would love to commemorate this date with the installation of the statue near Tom’s home in Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.

THE SEAT OF A KING A replica of Robert the Bruce’s throne is to be made ahead of the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn on 24 June 2014. An interpretation of the throne will be reconstructed based on studies of Bruce’s seal, which shows him sitting on a throne featuring clawed feet and the carved heads of four mythical beasts. The project will be undertaken by the Strathleven Artizans and the throne is due to be unveiled in time for the 707th anniversary of Bruce’s coronation, on 25 March.
