Scottish identities are a unique combination of experiences and perspectives.

Scotland stretches beyond the borders of this nation.

It thrives upon the exchange of ideas, cultures and traditions which continue to shape Scottish art.

Shattering Stereotypes

Scotland is home to many iconic images and symbols.

Stags, kilts and castles are strongly associated with our visual identity.

Many Scottish artists have looked beyond these symbols.
