    The pioneers who climbed the Cuillen Range

      On the way to the Talisker Distillery, a short stop 🛑 definitely worth it

        The Collie and Mackenzie statue pays tribute to two pioneers of mountaineering in the Cuillin Hills on the Isle of Skye. The statue was created by local artist Stephen Tinney and was cast in bronze at a foundry in Ireland. The statue shows Professor Norman Collie, a scientist and one of the first discoverers of the Cuillin, standing next to John Mackenzie, a crofter and one of the first guides of the Cuillin, sitting on a boulder. There is also a bronze relief map showing the hills near the main statue. The statue was unveiled in Glen Sligachan on September 25, 2020, after 17 years of planning and fundraising by a group of volunteers. The statue aims to tell the story of the friendship and respect between the crofter and the chemist, and to celebrate the appeal of the Cuillin to climbers from all over the world.
