Student Artist Celebrates a Milestone Achievement

A lino-cut image of a puffin has been selected as the winning design for a replacement milestone to be installed within the Cape Wrath Training Centre in Sutherland.

Students from Kinlochbervie High School have been working with the Ministry of Defence and RCAHMS on a project called Defending the Past, which aims to build connections between the soldiers who train at the military base and the local residents.

The winning design was created by Jennifer Ross, an S1 pupil at the school. Her picture of a puffin with number 8 on its torso will be sandblasted onto stone sourced from the training centre grounds to create the milestone.

Defending the Past project manager, Laura Gutierrez said the milestone exercise had been a great start to the project.
