The Kirkcudbright Gallery

The Kirkcudbright Gallery is an internet only gallery specialising in paintings from the Kirkcudbright School of Artists, paintings of Dumfries and Galloway and examples of work by leading Scottish Painters of the 19th and 20th Century.

“The rationale behind The Kirkcudbright Gallery’s online conception allows presentation of works of art direct to any prospective purchaser/collector incorporating a very competitive pricing structure that exploits the low overheads inherent in this type of gallery. Subsequently we can offer many paintings that are extremely competitively priced and by passing much of this saving directly to the client we believe, especially in these uncertain financial times, that we can offer exceptional value for money to any prospective purchaser.”

Broughton House, Kirkcudbright.

This is an eighteenth-century town house in the High Street owned by the National Trust for Scotland, It was the house lived in by E.A. Hornel from 1901 until his death in 1933. Hornel, who came from an old Kirkcudbright family, became a leading member of an important group of Scottish artists known as the ‘Glasgow Boys’. He settled in Kirkcudbright at the height of his fame. By personal contact and reputation he attracted other artists to the town, and so can be seen as the founder of the art colony.  Examples of his work, his furniture, china etc are still there as is his extensive library – about 25,000 books and manuscripts, most of them with a Dumfries and Galloway connection.

For many visitors the crowning glory of the property is, however, the garden that backs on to the Dee estuary and still contains many features designed by Hornel himself. A visit to this fascinating house and its tranquil garden makes a compelling reason to visit Kirkcudbright.
