This design highlights how the many castles of the north-east have inspired countless stories and legends. These magnificent structures often seem as if they’ve been lifted straight from the pages of a storybook. Through this work, Heather celebrates the imaginative tales drawn from the rich history and enduring beauty of these remarkable, real-world landmarks. This sculpture is part of The Tall Ships Short Story Trail – a collection of 12 specially-commissioned BookBench works, as part of the artistic celebration of the Tall Ships Races Aberdeen 2025.

Please take a seat and perhaps pause to reflect on Aberdeen’s remarkable relationship with the North Sea.
