The Tattie Bogal Clan

"An outlier of the dreaded Minginish scarecrows adorns a bench outside the Granary restaurant in Portree's square. Tattie-bogle or -boodie is a Scots term for a scarecrow especially one in a potato field or constructed of potatoes; in Skye the Gaelic bodach (or cailleach) rocais might be more appropriate."

This nice little bench features the mother in the middle with a crow on her head, one child on the right and another child with a dog on the left. They all smile and invite pedestrians to sit down and rest for a while. The bench is partly colored (black crow, brown dog etc.).
