Tom Weir was the climber, writer and broadcaster behind Weir's Way, the Scottish television series that took him into the outdoors. Sean Hedges-Quinn's sculpture was unveiled on 29 December 2014, marking the centenary of Weir's birth; the memorial appeal also helped turn the old picnic spot into Weir's Rest. Read the storyboards, then look across Balmaha Bay toward Loch Lomond and Inchcailloch. For the best photo, frame the statue against the water rather than shooting it tight against the wall; the boats and wooded shore give it a real sense of place.
