Scottish Art - Paintings of Scotland:
Highland Castle

by D. Bruce Bennett

Leaden Sky, Lonely Castle

A stormy, leaden sky, with purple hues, hovers over an empty castle in the Scottish Highlands. Though it may look very familiar, this Highland castle came straight from Bruce's head and exists only in this paint-and-canvas form.

Even though it's imaginary, it looks enough like Highland castles you've seen to prompt the same questions. "Did a famous battle take place in this part of the windswept Highlands?" "How many generations of Scots lived here?" "Were any of them my ancestors?" "How did they live in such a cold, harsh, isolated place?"

Though this Scottish Art "lives" on a customer's walls and not our inventory anymore, there's more like it in Bruce's imagination. Would you like your own, similar picture of Scotland to transport you to the windy hills you've visited on your Scottish holiday - the ones with the lonely, abandoned Highland castle ruins at the top?

See how our commission process works, send us your ideas - maybe even some of your own holiday photos in JPG format - and let's "talk." Who knows? In a few weeks, you might be hanging a similar picture of Scotland on your own walls that will encourage you to consider how different your life would've been, had you lived in an isolated Highland castle of old Scotland.
