April Squares: Crawick Mulitiverse
Crawick Multiverse is a former open-cast mine owned by the Duke of Buccleuch who commissioned a landscape artist, the late Charles Jencks, to transform it into the artland it has been since 2015. There are plenty of features siting on top of other features, as you can see, but it’s not so much top of the world as out of this world! The site’s themes are space, astronomy, and cosmology, with features and landforms representing the sun, universes, galaxies, black holes and comets.

I remember when you first blogged about the Multiverse, but I did go back and have a look at your photos again anyway! It does look really cool – they just need to add somewhere where you can purchase cake and/or ice cream to make it perfect!

They do! It’s miles from anywhere so there ought to be something.

Now this sounds so cool because I thought the mounds in the background could have been burial grounds.

He He – difficult to say anything about Dukes without sounding like a revolutionary. Excellent post and the Multiverse sounds interesting.

Yeah, dukes can get me quite annoyed! But this is definitely a good creation.

That looks like a really interesting place to visit and such a good re-use of the land.

Yes, and all out of bounds now – so frustrating.

It’s such a shame that a large place like that couldn’t still have visitors – maybe restricted in number somehow, but still open.

I know, there’s a lot of space there. Wouldn’t help us though, it’s too far to drive.

I never knew there was a Duke of Buccleuch. We used to live in Buccleuch in South Africa. 😅 This one looks far more interesting.

He owns vast amounts of Scotland!

It was still quite new when we visited, Hilary. It would be good to go back to see how it’s developed, once life gets back to normal.
