Rae's early religious cycle of five large granite sculptures, The Tragic Sacrifice of Christ, is in the collection of South Ayrshire Council. This group was unveiled by George Younger, Scottish Secretary, in 1979, at the same time as the Henry Moore 'Reclining figure' which South Ayrshire Council had purchased. In April 2009, Rae's eight-tonne sculpture
Fish was installed on the waterfront at
Cramond after a successful fundraising campaign by the Cramond Community. The sculpture was carved from a 460 million-year-old granite stone in the grounds of Cramond Kirk over a period of eight months. In February 2008, the sculpture
Fallen Christ was sited outside the MacLeod Centre on the island of
Iona and dedicated to the memory of Jim Hughes a member of the Iona Community. Rae's largest work, The Lion of Scotland, is sited at St Andrew Square in Edinburgh. Other granite sculptures in public sites include
