Crawick Multiverse, Land art at former coal mine in Sanquhar, Scotland
The Crawick Multiverse spans 55 acres, featuring nine landforms constructed with over 2000 boulders arranged to represent cosmic elements and celestial bodies.
The site transformed from an open cast coal mine into a public art installation in 2015 through a £1 million investment by the Duke of Buccleuch.
Stone circles placed on elevated mounds symbolize the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, connecting modern cosmology with ancient megalithic traditions.
The North-South Line stretches 400 meters with 300 boulders, creating a defined path for visitors to explore the various astronomical installations.
Each landform within the site represents different scientific concepts about the universe, including supernovas, black holes, and the potential for multiple universes.
