In Scotland and Ireland, we traditionally carved faces into turnips. It takes a bit of doing. Throw back to turnip versus pumpkin a couple of years ago, when I lost, badly. Happy Halloween

Woven Sound, the Falls of Falloch, near Crianlarich. The cantilevered structure alters the sound of the falls as you approach, to be greeted by a view and the words of Dorothy Wordsworth, cut into the steel wall.

“Being at a great height on the mountain, we sate down, and heard, as if from the heart of the earth, the sound of torrents ascending out of the long hollow glen. To the eye all was motionless, a perfect stillness. The noise of waters did not appear to come this way or that, from any particular quarter: it was everywhere, almost, one might say, as if “exhaled” through the whole surface of the green earth. Glenfalloch, Coleridge has since told me, signifies the Hidden Vale; but William says, if we were to name it from our recollections of that time, we should call it the Vale of Awful Sound.”
