The forest walk in Aberfoyle where you'll find some truly magical mirror figures

Just under an hour's drive north of Glasgow, you'll come to the picturesque town of Aberfoyle, and a little forest nearby which offers a walk with one very magical element. The woodland in the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park hides what could be one of the most fascinating sights you'll find.

Waiting for you to stumble upon them is a series of almost camouflaged life-size mirror figures that seem to magically appear as you enter a small glade close to the David Marshall Lodge. Almost invisible at first they seem to appear out of the surrounding greenery.

Installed by top contemporary artist Rob Mulholland, the thought-provoking artwork is called Vestige, and was installed in the woodland in 2012. The six figures, which feature both male and female versions, are made using polished stainless steel, explore relationships between people, the environments they live in and the past.
