New Zealand Sculptor Sets Scottish Migration in Stone
When Waitakere sculptor John Edgar wants to tell a story, neither time nor distance can stand in the way.
Gripped by an idea to tell the story of Scottish settlers, he found eight tonnes of stone in the quarries and countryside of their homeland and had it shipped to his workshop.
Hundreds of hours' work later, five sculptures each weighing between 150kg and 300kg are nearly ready to be packed and sent back to Scotland.
They will be on show at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh from August 5 to November 30, as part of the Edinburgh Arts Festival.
