A full scale carved timber replica of the figurehead from the renowned tea clipper "the Cutty Sark" carved from Linton's original drawings 3 metres tall with a black granite plaque engraved with the image of the ship.
The figurehead depicts the young witch in Robert Burns' poem "Tam O Shanter" grasping the tail of Tam's mare, her right breast bared. In the Scot's language 'cutty sark' means a short shirt or shift, it is interesting that despite that fact and the otherwise erotic nature of the figure, the carving is actually wearing quite a long shift, perhaps the Victorian era was much more at ease with tits than with bums.
---
Hercules Linton the designer of the 'Cutty Sark' was born in Inverbervie in 1837, the ship was built in Dumbarton by the firm Scott and Linton in 1869.
In 1869 the world’s fastest and most famous clipper ship Cutty Sark was launched in Dumbarton. This record-breaking sailing vessel which was designed by Hercules Linton of Inverbervie, was built specially to carry tea from China to Britain.
After steam-powered cargo ships displaced sailing vessels from the world’s oceans the CUTTY SARK was laid-up and eventually taken to Greenwich on the River Thames in London where she is preserved. You can visit the ship there and see how tough life was for the sailors who crewed such magnificent sailing vessels.

Lantana is a favorite of butterflies, and me. It changes colors as it grows, and draws all sorts of insect pollinators and hummingbirds. This clipper butterfly is visiting a bush at The Butterfly Place sanctuary.
I visited the Butterfly Place yesterday, taking advantage of my 10-ticket bundle. They had the most butterflies yet this year.
