The Prestongrange Totem Pole is 32 feet high and was carved out of
wood from British Columbia in Canada. It was raised in August 2006.
The pole is topped by a raven from Prestonpans' coat of arms, a
six-pointed star to represent the salt industry, a miner relating
to the town's coal mining past, a teapot to represent pottery, and
a fish and a boat to recognise the fishing industries.
The idea for the pole came from a local businessman, Gordon
Prestoungrange, who had visited Canada. The pole was carved by two
tribal Indians from Vancouver Island, who worked with local artists
and schoolchildren on the project. The connection between
Prestonpans and Chemainus, a saw-mill town on Vancouver Island, has
also resulted in the mural trail, some of which surround the totem
pole.
