TITLE: Dunbeath Floor Map
 
 

A Heritage Centre with a difference; centring round the writings of Neil Gunn (who was born in Dunbeath) this centre explores a community's sense of identity as defined by its relationship to the land. The Floor Map was commissioned to cover the entire floor surface of the main exhibition area. It depicts a narrative map of Dunbeath Water as it is appears in Neil Gunn’s novel 'Highland River'. The map leads to the river source which is marked by a bench feature specially commissioned from the Workshop of Tim Stead. It can be seen as a model for anecdotal mapping of any area by a local community.
