I really need to get in my arse in gear and figure this one out! Iv a new theory that it could
be a brick kiln used during the construction of the neighbouring Springhill Gardens tenements
... nothing concrete tho
Took a wee walk there today with the dog. I was sitting down having a fag (as you do)
and realised this looked a wee bit like an OS pillar
Obviously it's not as it's at the foot of Camphill, and I was told it used to be a sundial.
It over looks what used to be a walled garden and is now
The scottish Poetry Rose Garden.
The beds form the shape of a thistle (couldnt find an aerial shot) and layout
harks back to Celtic an Monastic (not Masonic... dont get too excited folx!) forms, centering
round a boulder on which is inscribed Macdiarmid's 'The Little White Rose'.
Where the paths cross is marked with a stone disc commemorating poets from the three strands of Scottish verse;
Gaelic, Scots and English.
