Gordon Highlanders Museum


A brief pen sketch partly in brush pen, which gives a nice irregular effect and partly in felt pen. 

Today we popped into the Gordon Highlanders Museum in Aberdeen to see a display by Aberdeen Modellers Society. The plane and tank models looked great and the club members were chatty and informative. The museum itself is excellent and also has an excellent tearoom and pretty memorial garden. 

I love the Arts and Crafts, Mackintosh style of the museum, which is a cottage converted for the successful Scottish artist Sir George Reid. Reid was a portraitist and landscape and genre painter who was well known at the time, although less so today.
