More about this scene
The monument on the hill was erected by the local people in 1836 in memory of their landlord, George Granville Leveson- Gower, Duke of Sutherland. They had reason to be grateful - the duke had been instrumental in introducing modern farming methods on his estate, and had also built decent cottages for his workers. Originally there were four lions guarding the base of the monument, but a lightning strike in 1839 sent them crashing into the gardens of the houses below, and they were never replaced.
