Invergarry School Arts

Louise Paget and Joyce (Brìghde) Gilbert This last year has been difficult for everyone. At Invergarry Primary Parent Council restrictions have meant that our normal fundraising activities have been impossible. However, we are currently organising an art trail – Invergarry Primary Rocks! – made up of painted rocks placed around Invergarry. Our first location is the Ciste Dubh trail by the River Garry, with other nearby sites to follow. The trail will be active during July and August and there will be a leaflet-map available at the art trail locations and from local outlets. We aim to raise funds by inviting visitors to our art trail to donate online to our fundraising page. We are lucky to be supported by an artistic community and several professional artists who are taking inspiration from the nature, culture and history of our wonderful area. A story which might inspire is about the Glen Garry Tarbhaighre or water-bull. This story was collected by Daphne Pochin Mould, who lived in Fort Augustus in 1950. At the head of Loch Garry is Eilean na Cloinne – the Children’s Island. Eight children are said to have been playing there when a strange monster came out of the water. It was a water-bull. The children immediately wanted to ride on its back and seven of them clambered on, but the eighth, more canny, first touched the creature’s side with his finger. He found that he couldn’t withdraw the finger again. Seizing a nearby sickle, he cut the finger off and alone survived to tell the tale, for the beast, with a roar of rage, plunged below the water again, with the seven children on its back. Later their seven hearts were found floating on the river… Luckily the only Tarbh-aighre in Glengarry this summer will be painted on stones. Thank you to those already involved, especially our generous sponsors and please look at our Facebook and Just Giving pages to learn more! www.facebook.com/ Invergarry-PrimaryRocks-107812061457296
