A beacon in blue
Locally referred to as “the mirror man” but actually entitle “Still” by the sculptor, this figure was created by the Scottish sculptor and environmental artist Rob Mulholland, and sits on the shoreline Loch Earn.
Situated just a few meters from the shore of Loch Earn at the village of St Fillans, the three metre tall mirrored figure has become a familiar figure for many in central Scotland. The Mirror Man was first installed in 2014 and became an attraction to the local area, encouraging visitors to the Central Scotland’s Loch Earn, before it was suddenly removed by its mystery owner in 2017.
Its recent return was made possible by local volunteer group “St Fillans in Bloom” who managed to raise sufficient funds to purchase the statue and bring it back to the Loch where it first appeared in 2014.
The artist behind the sculpture said he created STILL to symbolise the physical and spiritual relationship between humans and the natural world. While the rear of the statue is different to the front in that it depicts many of mirrored tiles which make up the surface being blown away off its back and is thought to represent the changing face and future of mankind.
