How can a hand carved wooden bench tell the story of a whole family? Why would someone choose to carve sheep as hand rests? Who were the artists and craftspeople who created such a unique piece of furniture? Learn about how this beautiful set of wooden benches can teach us about the family that once lived in Glencairn!
