To the right of the glen flows a trickle of water - this is known as the Eye Well and for centuries it has been claimed to have curative properties. There is a local legend that a sceptical farmer in the 19th century mocked the belief by bringing to the Eye Well a blind horse. The story goes that the horse was cured and his mocking owner went blind! And now it has been put about by some that the steel sculpture is commemorating the cynical visit to the Eye Well. That myth must be killed at birth!
