THE FACE OF SCOTLAND
5 July - 25 August 2008
KIRKCUDBRIGHT TOWN HALL, St Mary's Street, Kirkcudbright
Admission free
As part of Kirkcudbright's annual programme of visual art and craft events in 2008, this exhibition will present a selection of over forty major portraits on loan from the permanent collection of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. Among the works featured will be Raeburn's enchanting portrait of Walter Ross, The Yellow Boy - which was only recently discovered and has never before been seen in a public space. The show will also include portraits of a group of sporting greats including Eric Liddell, Jock Stein and Kenny Dalgleish. This partnership underlines one of the Galleries' core aims - making the national art collection accessible to the widest possible number of visitors.
