Pomona
The Moray town of Cullen is bereft of its statue of Pomona and if anyone knows where she is, do tell.
Pomona was of course the goddess of fruit trees, garden, and orchards. Unlike many other Roman goddesses and gods, she does not have a Greek counterpart. She watches over and protects fruit trees and cares for their cultivation.
In her Cullen cliff top location, she would have gazed over the sea many years before the coming of the railways.
Now, all that remains is her temple on a hilltop above the town.
