A public monument by internationally acclaimed local artists Will Maclean and Marian Leven is planned to commemorate the events of 1852/3 when the people of Coigach successfully resisted the serving of summons to remove from their land.

The project is in the final fundraising push so that construction can begin Autumn 2025.
