Herm of Norman MacCaig by David Annand.
Herm of Norman MacCaig, with pin-centred eyes looking straight ahead beneath arching eyebrows in his lean face. The lips of the small mouth part very slightly, and the hair sweeps back from the receding hairline to form a roughly textured mass at the back. The herm terminates simply at the base of the neck.
Inscriptions: On front of pedestal (incised letters): NORMAN MacCAIG
[Engraved glass plates bolted to the sides of the pedestal give a short biography of the poet, and the poem 'Notations of Ten Summer Minutes'.]
Signatures: None
Design period: 2004
