Artist's Comments

Took my wee Nephew out for a stroll Last Sunday to re-visit an old friend of mine....


The ‘Lonely Shepherd’ or ‘Bugail Unig’ in Welsh is an interesting limestone pillar situated above the Clydach Gorge. According to local legend, a farmer at Ty-lsaf farm was so cruel to his wife that she threw herself into the river Usk and drowned. For his sin, the man was turned into a pillar of stone, but every year on Midsummer's Eve (June 20th), he goes down to the banks of the Usk to search for his wife, calling her name - in vain. By next morning he has always returned to his lonely place. It was the custom in times gone by to white-wash the stone so that it could easily be seen when it walked on Midsummer's Eve.


Thank you for your comments and as always criticisms encouraged and welcomed :tea:
