An exhibition celebrating Scottish artist Sir William Gillies (1898-1973) and his colourful depictions of Scotland’s rural landscape.

The display showcases a rich selection of oil and watercolour paintings in the Archives, Gallery & Museums’ collection which depict rolling countryside, trees and coastal scenes. Gillies was a lover of nature; his oil paintings were created in his studio but he was never happier than when outdoors with his watercolour palette capturing the beauty of Scotland’s countryside.
