Exhibition of Tartan Portraits

[figheadair]

Exhibition of Tartan Portraits at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery – until 31st December 2013.

Looks like it'll be worth a look if anyone's local or visiting.

Shucks, I was there just a bit too early!

Hmmm...I may have to make a quick trip to Scotland in the autumn for this one (and for other things, naturally)!

Cheers,

Thank you flagging this up: I will be sure to pop in.

I wonder if there will be a book of the images. I'll look into it. Thank you for the post.

I see no sign of a book about this exhibition, nor a poster. There are only six featured paintings, so it's not a major show for Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

That's a shame. Which pictures are there?

These four were easily harvested:
- Kenneth Sutherland, 3rd Lord Duffus (with greyhound)
- George IV, 1762 - 1830. Reigned as Regent 1811 - 1820, as King 1820 - 1830 (Satirical print)
- Sobieski Stuart brothers, the supposed grandsons of Bonnie Prince Charlie (photograph)
- Hugh Montgomerie, 12th Earl of Eglinton, 1739 – 1819 (don’t miss the other figures, although they’re much smaller)

A-ha! Although I wrote earlier that I found no book or poster, I don't think the gallery would mind me telling you of the tote bag. Because I'm new, I brought only the jpeg image back to show you, now I see that I was meant to capture the URL. Look for it in my next post. I can't say yet whether I like it or not. Which probably means... not.

Here's the URL to the National Portrait Gallery of Scotland's tote bag with images of kilts, socks, & at least one dog. It's rather like a Bonnie Knees contest, that view, or the view of the dog.
