Sculpture by Valerie Pragnell at North Glendale, South Uist, with tractor-seat benches and bards' poems

The Listening Place is a sculpture by Valerie Pragnell on the site of the old village school at North Glendale, beside the burn that marks the boundary with South Lochboisdale in the south-east of South Uist. It celebrates the area's history, its bards and its crofting life.

A curved wall built with stones collected by local people incorporates parts of agricultural machinery and seats cast from a crofter's tractor seat, alongside poems by local bards. It is one of the works on the Uist Sculpture Trail.
