THE LARGEST COUNTRY HOUSE GALLERY IN SCOTLAND IS ENRICHED WITH NEW LOANS FROM THE NATIONAL GALLERIES

Pic Caption: Kate Anderson, Senior Curator, National Galleries of Scotland admires some of the new collection on display in the Picture Gallery


A vibrant group of over 30 paintings on loan from the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland is now on display in the Picture Gallery at Paxton House in the Scottish Borders, near Berwick upon Tweed. Works by celebrated eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Scottish artists Sir Henry Raeburn, William McTaggart and Sir William Allan can be enjoyed alongside modern paintings by the renowned Scottish colourists Samuel John Peploe and George Leslie Hunter, and artists with local connections to the Borders, Anne Redpath and Sir William Gillies.



The Picture Gallery at Paxton is the largest private gallery ever to be built in Scotland and one of the most ambitious in any British country house. It was designed in 1810 by the Edinburgh architect Robert Reid for George Home, as an addition to the neo-Palladian mansion which had been built by John Adam for George’s cousin Patrick between 1758 and 1763.
