That’s a great wood carving, Sam. I wonder how long he’s been there and who the artist is?
It is a great carving Hugh, we came across him whilst walking near Loch Lomond, although the water in the distance, I believe is Loch Long. But he was sat there with no explanation, but looks like he’d been there many years and there also looks to have been a plaque, but no longer there. I did a little digging and found this picture from Trip Advisor with a plaque, although I cannot read it.

I had a go at zooming in on the plaque, but no luck, Sam. Not even with my reading glasses on, I can’t read what the plaque says. Your find reminded me of this wood craving I found a few years ago.

No where near the age of your wood craving, but the work involved is brilliant. All credit to the artists.
Yes I tried zooming in too, but it was too blurred. Oh the wood carving you shared is beautiful, the artists are amazing. We come across quite a lot of wood carvings on our walks, with no explanation. They are so very clever.
After Gepetto’s death, Pinocchio wandered aimlessly until he came to rest by the shores of Loch Lomond.
Haha brilliant!
Always wondered how poor Pinoccho’s days ended. Clearly he lost his super-long nose! I shall now imagine him sitting at water’s edge, sharing his adventures with little Scots lads and lasses, until he slowly took root and joined the landscape.
Thank you, April, for fueling my mind with new images to a treasured old story!
Thank you Sam, for finding such objects to share & encourage discussion!
Sometimes the system in different people’s blogs makes it impossible for me to “like” comments. I do wish I could like most or all of them! April’s allows me to do it, while this one, and some others won’t.
Thank you for stopping by, haha I love how people’s minds work, Pinocchio landed in Scotland, interesting! I will check on this ‘Like’ business on my blog, but I too have this problem with many blogs. Sometimes it seems I can only leave a ‘Like’ when I’m in WordPress reader. Thank you 😊
I love seeing random carvings while out and about, although I wouldn’t like to meet him on a dark night 😉
I do too Cathy, we do see quite a lot, there are some very clever artists. Yes he does look like he’s about to pounce 😊
I love this old man sitting on the Loch. I bet he has a few stories to tell. Great craftsmanship as well. Thanks for sharing. BTW when I tried to leave a comment on you blog it wouldn’t accept it and I received a message ‘Invalid Security Token’?? Not sure what that means but it works okay if I come through the WordPress.com site. Have a lovely week. xx
Thanks Sue, hmmm will have a look 👍
Very intriguing Sam. What a great find!
That’s amazing…
Nice photo Sam. Obviously a fellow traveller who sat to contemplate his travelling life in a perfect location and never moved again. Can think of worse places to be stuck.
It was a beautiful place 😊
Although I appreciate most artwork wherever I see it, I especially love it when artists create and display their work in far-off locations like this. I almost feel as if they were created just for me to find.
❤️ absolutely Janis x
That is one amazing carving Sam! Love the stories that spring to mind when looking at him 🙂
Awesome! I wonder who is the artist of that carved man sitting there!
Hi Leif thank you for visiting. Yes I also would love to find out more about the artist and what this carving was all about as there was no explanation, but looks like he’d been there many years and there also looks to have been a plaque, but no longer there. I did a little digging and found this picture from Trip Advisor with a plaque, although I cannot read it.
