A 2.7 metre mirrored human figure standing in the waters of Loch Earn, covered entirely in tiny mirrors. It reflects the loch, the sky, the mountains β and almost disappears into its surroundings. Created by Scottish sculptor Rob Mulholland, it stands as a meditation on the relationship between humans and nature.
It was originally installed in 2014, removed in 2017, and has recently returned thanks to a community fundraising campaign. It's extraordinary in person β completely still, completely silent, reflecting everything around it. The kids will find it slightly eerie and completely fascinating.
St Fillans is on the A85 through Perthshire β a natural route north toward Glencoe via Crianlarich. Pull in, walk to the lochside, and spend twenty minutes just looking at it.
π Where to Find Highland Cows
Highland cows are everywhere once you're past Loch Lomond β but the best spots to actually stop and see them up close are along the A82 heading toward Glencoe. Pull over anywhere you see a field and look for the shaggy fringes.
