Ian Hamilton Finlay, CBE (1925–2006) was a Scottish poet, writer, artist and gardener.
Finlay composed poems to be inscribed into stone, incorporating these sculptures into the natural environment. This kind of 'poem-object' features in the garden Little Sparta that he and Sue Finlay created together in the Pentland Hills near Edinburgh. The five-acre garden also includes more conventional sculptures and two garden temples.
He is represented by the Wild Hawthorn Press, the Archive of Ian Hamilton Finlay, which works closely with the Ingleby Gallery (Edinburgh)[30] and the Victoria Miro Gallery (London) in the U.K.
