The major donors who helped fund Roxburghe House, a new NHS 21-bed Palliative Care Unit built within Aberdeen city centre, have been ‘thanked' in a truly striking manner, via three glass donor panels designed, made and installed by Daedalian Glass.

Wall-mounted side-by-side and taken as a whole, the panels represent a montage of the topography of Aberdeenshire.

Each one has a base of pebble shapes cast in heavy Gaffer Glass, a lead crystal from New Zealand. Depending on the angle of light striking the surface, the glass appears either pink or green.

The names of donors has been sandblasted on each front panel. These have been etched into the surface to be clearly legible, but not to such an extent that they dominate the whole.

The panels were commissioned to recognise the efforts of the numerous Macmillan Fundraising Committees, supporters and other major donors, including The Big Lottery and NHS Grampian, who raised the £5.2million needed for the building.

Daedalian's reputation for using glass in a series of art forms has escalated in recent years, with clients from a variety of backgrounds commissioning work from the company.
