The Frank Bruce Sculpture Trail, Cairngorms National Park, Scotland


 The Archetype
'Everyone needs a figure in the past. A person in power without an archetype can be very dangerous. They have no empathy and so make up their own roles'

The Thinker


 The Walker



 The Man's the Gowd
'A workman figure and a belted knight. The belted knight looks with disdain. Both figures have symbols of mortality on their heads indicating we all return to the same dust'

 I was priveleged to be

 One World
'The heads on top of the sculpture represent the different races of the world. The big hand represents the hand holding us all together. We all feel the same pain'


 Inner Man
'You can see my outward physical appearance. My inner self is far more difficult to discern'

 The Onlooker
'There are two heads on this piece, one looking in horror at the conflict of the patriots, the other in great sadness'

 Two Patriots
'To make war a patriot on both sides is needed. A winner and a loser'




Third World
'Five figures. Main figure holding a dead child. Three figures with blinkers  are representing the affluent nations. The other one represents conscience'

Frank Bruce 1931-2009
