Millenium Mileposts 

Four artists from Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales were commissioned to design mileposts to celebrate the Millennium. This milepost by Scottish sculptor Iain McColl is called The Cockerel. The influences behind this one are Miro's 'The Fork' and Branusci's 'The Cock'. Welsh artist Andrew Rowe's design is based upon the nautical and industrial heritage of his native Swansea.  'Tracks' by Belfast artist David Dudgeon shows the tracks made in the landscape by cyclists, complemented by text exploring sensations and observations made whilst travelling.  English artist  John Mills designed The Fossil Tree - an abstract tree with relief imagery of fossils depicting the passage of time from early primitive creatures to the demise of fossil fuel driven technology.
