We are immensely grateful to both Dr Duncan

Portrait Gallery) and Dr Joanna Soden, Collections
Curator, The Royal Scottish Academy, for their
expert help and advice in all matters relating to the
reproduction of artists’ work. We are also indebted
to Janis Adams and Shona Corner of the National
Galleries of Scotland for their kind assistance in
supplying many of our most important images.
We had valuable support from Susan Charlas,

Our special thanks are reserved for Helen
Monaghan, Talks and Events Programmer at
the National Galleries of Scotland whose invitation
to deliver a series of lectures entitled ‘Poets,
Portraits and Landscapes of Modern Scotland’ led
directly to the writing of our book; and to Linda
MacDonald-Lewis for insisting we compile the
book and not taking no for an answer.
Our warmest thanks go to all of the artists who
have readily supplied images of their work and
copyright permissions. We would also like to thank
all of the copyright holders who have so generously
supported this publication.
Jennie Renton took on the task of reading our

In addition we wish to express our gratitude
to Tom Bee whose expertise in all aspects of
book design brought a rare elegance to the finished
product and to Senga Fairgrieve whose typesetting
skills made it all possible. And, of course, all at
Luath Press.
The book was completed thanks to a Sir
William Gillies Bequest Award from the Royal
Scottish Academy, and the generosity of the
