Statue
Sculpture of seven white swans in flight, a tribute to Violet Jacob
Tribute to Violet Jacob
There are three commemorative Montrose sculptures by David A. Annand, put in place in 1998, and situated beside the bypass road. Two depict skeins of pinkfoot geese in aluminium resin, and are called ‘Far Abune the Angus Straths’, echoing a line from Violet Jacob’s poem ‘The Wild Geese’. The main sculpture, showing seven white bronze swans in flight and banking in formation on the station roundabout, is called ‘Tribute to Violet Jacob’ and may draw its inspiration from her story ‘The Fifty-Eight Wild Swans’.

The original statue was of a woman (Crookstone) only. A boy was added to make it more stable, and it was re-erected in June 1996.
