Activities

Project (1997)

The Public Monuments and Sculpture Association (http://www.pmsa.org.uk/) set up a National Recording Project in 1997 with the aim of making a survey of public monuments and sculpture in Britain ranging from medieval monuments to the most contemporary works. Information from the Edinburgh project was added to the RCAHMS database in October 2010 and again in 2012.

The PMSA (Public Monuments and Sculpture Association) Edinburgh Sculpture Project has been supported by Eastern Photocolour, Edinburgh College of Art, the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust, Historic Scotland, the Hope Scott Trust, The Old Edinburgh Club, the Pilgrim Trust, the RCAHMS, and the Scottish Archive Network.

Field Visit (16 August 2002)

Public Monuments and Sculpture Association: Edinburgh

The sculpture 'The Yew's Harp' is composed of cantilevered very rough 'planks' of wood (with inner edges left natural), held at right angles to a vertical zig-zagging metal form by bolts and steel wire tensed over hooks. One timber touches the ground at the end, the other is suspended in the air.

The sculptor is interested in weather vanes
