Local galleries: Showcasing Scots creatives

From loose and expression paintings, to fine-art photography and sculpture, the artistic creations found in Scotland’s independent galleries are representative of the beauty and expression of our nation.

Indeed, the rolling hills and stunning seascapes of Caledonia are the stimulus for much of the art displayed in galleries up and down the country.

It is fitting, therefore, that visitors and residents alike tend to purchase works from them as mementos and reminders of their favourite areas in this stunning part of the world.

It’s not just art inspired by Scotland you can expect to find in Scottish galleries, however, as the range of paintings, prints, jewellery, porcelain and glass work displayed and sold here is virtually infinite.

Planning a staycation for summer? Strolling through these caverns of creativity is the perfect way to spend a rainy day in Scotland (of which we have a few), or an ideal spot from which to purchase

souvenirs and gifts.as many rural towns and coastal communities will have small galleries on their high street, paying them a visit will usually fit perfectly in with your daily activities.

The arts industry in Scotland depends heavily on small galleries to promote the work of both new and established artists.

Covid was a huge blow to those operating within the industry, so now – as galleries eagerly open their doors once more – is the perfect time to show your support for the small businesses which work tirelessly to promote the talent, splendour and creativity of Scotland.
