Portrait of Neil Gunn by Ian Charles Scott
Dunbeath Heritage Museum

This print is a portrait of renowned Highland author Neil Gunn. The original acrylic painting in a very distinctive style was the work of artist Ian Charles Scott (born 1957).

Scott was originally from North Shields, England, but lived from childhood in Caithness. As a student, he exhibited in the Scottish Young Contemporaries in 1984 and the RSA exhibition. This affectionate portrait shows Neil Gunn in a contemplative pose.
