A Wigtownshire-born sculptor has received a prestigious honour.
James Parker and the team at Drystone Walling Perthshire have received the Certificate of Merit from the Dry Stone Walling Association – an accolade which recognises exceptional projects using dry stone walling in Great Britain.
It was the first such certificate to be awarded in Scotland since 2006 and only the seventh north of the border since the Pinnacle Award Scheme began in 1994.
