We had finally made it, Money was in the bank, Our artist Steve Tinney had been across to Ireland, The bronze was complete!
The site was ready and so were we but sadly our Grand Opening Ceremony had to be curtailed thanks to government restrictions in place due to Covid – 19.
However – we managed to get members of both the Mackenzie and Collie families to the site and along with a piper, committee members, and members of the press, the sculpture was unveiled and revealed to the world!
and a close up of the two pioneers!
