    Benbrack is a summit in the Carsphairn Hills that affords wonderful views over the Southern Uplands. On the summit you will find the Striding Arch sculpture, created by artist Andy Goldsworthy. Andy is well known for his site-specific installations, created from natural materials such as stone, branches, rocks, ice etc. that are found in the landscape.Thirty-one sandstone blocks make up each Striding Arch, totalling some 27 tons!
