The bronze sculpture, created by local artist Stephen Tinney, depicts Sconser born crofter John Mackenzie seated and Professor Norman Collie standing. Mackenzie, the first British professional mountain guide of Alpine standard, formed a prolific climbing partnership with his great friend Collie, which lasted 50 years during which they mapped and named many of the Cuillin peaks.
