An important monument with very poor curation
The Emigrants的点评
点评：This is a very important and poignant memorial to a horrific chapter in Scotland's history. The monument itself depicts a family leaving our shores for parts unknown and is surrounded with plaques in Gàidhlig and English. There are also interesting information boards explaining this awful episode.
However, for such an important monument, it is curated very poorly. There is no signposting at all; we drove past it four times. The car park is not well maintained, and you think you're pulling up in front of a derelict, though modern, Scout hut... I'm guessing the building was originally intended as some sort of small visitor centre, but it sits closed and apparently empty. Once you realise you're in the right place, there is plenty parking.
The statue is then accessed by some steep steps, rendering it completely inaccessible to wheelchair users and, indeed, anyone with restricted mobility. I'm not one to complain about unreasonable access problems but, as a relatively new monument (unveiled in 2007), this is pretty unacceptable. A sloping path would have been easy enough to build instead. If there is better access through the park, this is, again, not intimated anywhere.
If you can get to the monument (my companions were able to, I was not), the views are spectacular, and it is a fascinating monument to the 19th century emigrants. But the implementation is sadly lacking.

翻译：这是一座非常重要且令人心酸的纪念碑，纪念着苏格兰历史上一段可怕的篇章。纪念碑本身描绘了一个家庭离开我们的海岸，前往未知的地方，周围环绕着盖尔语和英语的牌匾。还有一些有趣的信息板，解释了这段可怕的事件。
然而，对于如此重要的纪念碑来说，它的管理却非常糟糕。根本没有任何路标；我们开车经过了四次。停车场维护得很糟糕，你会以为你停在了一间废弃的、虽然很现代的童子军小屋前……我猜这栋建筑最初是打算用作某种小型游客中心的，但它却关闭了，而且似乎空无一人。一旦你意识到你来对地方了，就会发现那里有很多停车位。
到达雕像需要经过一段陡峭的台阶，轮椅使用者以及行动不便的人都无法进入。我并非会抱怨不合理的通行问题，但作为一座相对较新的纪念碑（2007年揭幕），这实在令人难以接受。修建一条斜坡路倒是很容易。如果公园里有更好的通道，这一点也同样没有得到任何暗示。
如果你能到达纪念碑（我的同伴们去了，我没去），景色壮丽，它是一座令人着迷的19世纪移民纪念碑。但遗憾的是，它的实施效果欠佳。
