The Monument
At the top of a rise in The Paye, stands, on a slope to your right, Miller’s fine statue. It was erected, three years after his death, by public subscription in 1859. His dignity is somewhat undermined by seagulls’ constant use of his head as a perch! At the base, the inscription commemorates “his genius, and literary and scientific eminence.” From this hilltop he looked in vain for the return of his father, who had perished in a shipwreck.
