"And voilà ....a giant wall of LOVE to be able to welcome even more! This 6x20 foot sculpture, commissioned especially for us from the same artist as the thistle (see komoot.com/highlight/7309188, ed.) [ArtFe], was officially opened as part of a special event celebrating 130 years since Hugh Mackie first opened the Famous Blacksmiths Shop to visit back in 1885!"
