  The Aignish Cairn

  The purpose of the Aignish Cairns is to honour the individuals involved in the Crofters Struggle for Land Law Reform circa 1888. The Cairn provides a visual memorial and presence to a historical event previously held within an oral tradition.

  Artist Will McLean worked with an architect and stonemason in creating a memorial to the historical events of that Struggle, in particular The Aignish Riots.

  The project demonstrates a successful collaboration between artist, architect and stonemason in realising an artwork that resonates with the local community.
