The Screaming Heads of Midlothian Castle

screaming heads of midlothian - burks falls

Some find them creepy others are fascinated—it's one of the most unique art installations in Canada. The artist, Peter Camani, welcomes visitors to wander the trails that wind through meadows, past woods and ponds, to get up close to this curious collection of sculptures—dozens of massive concrete "screaming heads" locked in a howl.

This is a private home as well as an art exhibit, so if the gate is closed just enjoy the view from the road.
