This April we present Wood – an exhibition showcasing a number of artists who primarily use wood to make beautiful, sensitive and expressive work. Wood includes examples of bespoke furniture, sculptural vessels, boxes, traditional basket weaving and metalwork. The exhibition explores traditional hand craft skills and modern techniques juxtaposed with some antique works brought together by The Thrie Estaits. Exhibiting artists include: Roger Bennett, Anthony Bryant, Martin Cook, Roland Fraser, Hans-Henning Pedersen, Kathryn Hinton, Andrew Holmes, Owen Jones, Eleanor Lakelin, Grant McCaig, Alan Meredith, Lawrence Neal (Marchmont House), Jim Partridge & Liz Walmsley, David Robinson, Angus Ross and Edward Teasdale.

THE SCOTTISH GALLERY
Contemporary Art since 1842
Established in South St. David Street, Edinburgh by Aitken Dott in 1842 as “Gilders, Framers, and Artists’ Colourmen”, the firm, as it does today, also exhibited and sold work by the leading Scottish artists of the day. As all areas of the business grew, larger premises were found in Castle Street in 1860 and a new dedicated gallery space was opened in 1897 as “The Scottish Gallery”. The gallery has been situated on Dundas Street since 1992.
