I make practical pieces of lasting quality, using a range of traditional hand<br />
tools and modern equipment. <strong>The</strong> hardwoods of Scotland and the Borders<br />
form the raw material. My furniture incorporates clean lines and a quiet<br />
solidity, with the occasional nod towards Arts and Crafts. Practical and<br />
beautiful: that’s what I’m after. V<strong>is</strong>itors can look around the workshop,<br />
examine different types of wood, see a piece of work in progress showing<br />
joints and construction, and watch hand tools in use.<br />
directions: Head out of Penpont towards Moniaive on the A702. At Capenoch,<br />
turn R at junction signposted ‘Scaur Water’. Craignee <strong>is</strong> 1 mile on the L from the<br />
junction, uppermost of the first two houses you see.<br />
recommendations: Buccleuch and Queensberry Hotel (5), Thornhill. Newly<br />
refurb<strong>is</strong>hed and a chef from Edinburgh, with a very good menu. Lower reaches of<br />

I am a painter directly influenced by my surroundings. I am fascinated by<br />
the pastoral, the patterns created and left by the weather and beasts on the<br />
landscape. I try to catch that fleeting moment when the everyday becomes<br />
remarkable. V<strong>is</strong>itors to the studio will find works mainly in oil, mounted<br />
sketches, prints and cards. I will be selling some older pieces at reduced<br />
prices.<br />
directions: From the A76 at Thornhill take the A702 towards Penpont/Moniaive.<br />
A mile after Penpont take the right fork signposted Tynron. From village cross bridge<br />
and turn left at Tjunction/war memorial. Lannhall Cottage <strong>is</strong> large white steading<br />
on right. Park in driveway and follow signs to studio at back of steading.<br />
recommendations: Buccleuch And Queensberry Hotel (5). 112 Drumlanrig St,<br />
Thornhill. Newly renovated hotel with cosy open fires and comfy chairs. Serving<br />
coffee and cakes, lunches, afternoon teas and fine dining. A perfect stop for the<br />
weary spring flinger to recharge their batteries. Tynron Doon (7). Tynron Doon <strong>is</strong><br />
an impressive iron age fortress. An energetic hike to the top will take about 40 mins<br />
from the village hall car park . You will be rewarded with splendid views of the nith<br />
valley from the lowther hills to the Solway<br />
