Lochore country park ( locally known as the Meadies) asked me, along with some other artists,

to come up with an idea for the area in front of a seating area along one of the wee paths within the park.

This was an unusual idea I think. 

The Kelpie is a mythical creature said to have swam in the loch there.  Half fish half horse.

The whole thing was made up of stones found along the shore of the loch, embedded into concrete. 

Under the founds, we planted some treasures and poems etc...jsut for fun..

I jsut wonder if anyone will ever find them one day.

The poem was all about the Kelpie..which i wrote. ( Is in broad Scots accent )

A Kelpie cam tae Lochoreshire a-swimmin' in the Meadies

Wi' big black flamin' nostrils, and bulgin' glarin' red e'es.

The Picts, they tried tae kill it, wi' blood and tears and sweat

but as far as a'body roond here kens it swams the Meadies yet.

So tak heid a' ye fishermen and a' ye fisherladies

Watch oot fir Kelpie wa'll cam up and drag ye doon tae Hades!

Once again the Lochore Country park got in touch with me and asked me to design a Burial Cairn.

They were doing a special historical walk through the park, and this was to be placed in the park's centre.

Along with 2 fellow artists I designed and made this, moslty made of papier mache, and using

stones found near the park.

While I was in my last year at college, as part of the course,

we were all asked to design banners which were to be hung up in the town.

I designed four in all, two of which were used. 

Robert the Bruce and the spider, and Queen Margaret in the chapel.

I went back to help with the making of them the following year

and they were hung for that year in the town.
