The Hidden Souterrain 

​

A trail of transparent globes inside an iron-age souterrain north of Perth near Broxy Kennels.

​

Twelve resin globes inspired by Pictish animals carved on Scotland’s standing stones, including plants similar to botanical material found at the Broxy Kennels archaeological dig. Another four globes are inspired by archaeological implements such as the pommel of a dagger and a fragment of a hand-made pot.

Engraved stones lead to the entrance of the souterrain made with hand-tools and painted with colours from the iron-age such as ochre, madder and woad.
