On a quiet hill overlooking Edinburgh rests Abraham, a powerful stone sculpture by Ronald Rae. Abraham isn’t just a random name. This sculpture is dedicated to Louie Comolli, a former quarry master of Gran-Quartz in the USA. It also honors the patients and staff of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. The inscription on the sculpture reads, “Dedicated to Louie Comolli former Quarry Master of Gran-Quartz, U.S.A. and the patients and staff of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital.” It’s a touching tribute carved into the very stone. As you stand here, take a moment to appreciate the artistry and the quiet dedication it represents. This peaceful spot offers a unique perspective on the city, a blend of art, nature, and remembrance.
