To honour this noble breed of the area engineered by Wm McCombie and God, a bronze sculpture has been placed to the east of Alford. As a model for this enterprise, Jeremy Eric of Bridgefoot was specially selected and, after posing for sculptor David Annand, was sold at auction in the year 2000 for the sum of 28,000 guineas!
