A lovely photograph of Piran carved from Cornish granite and now at home in the Valley of the Saints, Brittany.

There, Piran, weighing 6 tons, stands with an Irish granite millstone and a Breton granite base marking the close relationship between the three Celtic Nations where it is the 100th such statue.

The sculptors were David Paton and Stéphane Rouget, two sculptors based in Cornwall,
