Highland Boundary Fault: Tracing Time, Land & Connection in Cove and Kilcreggan 

The Cove and Kilcreggan Arts and Heritage Groups are commissioning a visual artist to create a permanent public artwork marking the Highland Boundary Fault, a significant geological feature of Scotland. The artwork should creatively interpret the idea of ‘signposting’ or ‘marking’ the Fault.

The project includes a community walking event with a geologist, a Cove Park Saturday Studio workshop for children, and permanent labeling with QR codes for background information. The Highland Boundary Fault runs through the Rosneath Peninsula and marks the border between the Highlands and Lowlands, showcasing distinct landscape and cultural differences.The artwork will connect this site to other locations along the tectonic plate boundary, forming part of a network of site-responsive markers.

For more information and to apply, see the Project Brief. Submissions are due by Thursday 24 April 2025.

If you have any questions about the project, please get in touch with Cat Auburn, Cove and Kilcreggan Arts and Heritage Group.
