Tips

Wee Peter statue, erected in 1890 near Luss by London stonemason William Kerr, who as a child lived in the village of Luss. The statue is also known as Kerrs Folly, as it was created for a client who did not accept the piece, so William Kerr had it erected in this small bay near Luss where he had been happy as a child. Local mis-knowledge sometimes has it that the statue was erected as a memorial to a drowned child.

Many think that this statue of sacred joy was erected to commemorate a wee boy who drowned in the loch. That is actually a myth.
Wee Peter was created by local stonemason William Kerr in 1890. He made it for someone’s garden but they didn’t like it and he placed it where it stands today.
