Ian Hamilton Finlay


I just received an email from Elise who not only knew about the artist Ian Hamilton Finlay, whose work I was quite taken with at the gallery yesterday, but she also told me about his garden outside Edinburgh. It sounds fascinating so for those who want to know more (or plan a visit) here you are. Thanks Elise!
Apparently he had a run in with his local council which makes my Dad and his Daisy sculpture protest look like small fries.
