Fife memorial for Fairlie
A new sculpture will commemorate the three generations of the Fife family of naval architects and boatbuilders in the Ayrshire village of Fairlie in Scotland. It will be sited on land of the original Wm Fife & Son boatyard to which there is public access, on Bay Street. The sculpture, about 1.5m (5ft) tall, will be of a bronze yacht mounted on a granite base. It has been commissioned from Glaswegian sculptor Tom Allan, at a cost of £10,000 by the Fairlie Community Trust. The trust hopes to display a maquette of the sculpture at this year's Fife Regatta (20-27 June), where about 25 classic Fife yachts are scheduled to participate.
