Landscape Pictures and art depicting
Architecture in Scotland
Travelling
around the Scottish highlands and glens, small pieces of history
would emerge unexpectedly. Far from the high profile tourist
spots, ignored crumbling walls once housed Kings & Queens,
smuggling, intrigue and treachery. Here is more than enough
stimulus for paintings far beyond the mere landscape.

| Mike's
has a strong interest in historical Scotland, in addition to his
passion for wildlife. His pictures increasingly reflect this
interest and have resulted in increasingly more Scottish
landscape paintings. The focus presently is around the Tay River
but he is slowly venturing deeper into the Highlands in pursuit
of the more ellusive wildlife and those stunning views. |
