About The Scottish Gallery
The Scottish Gallery presents two complementary exhibitions exploring nature, environment and human experience. Visual artist Kate Downie's Grasslands examines the overlooked beauty and ecological significance of the plant world beneath our feet. Australian-based ceramicist Stephen Bird investigates entanglements between environment, place and human experience in circular thoughts. Together these two distinct artistic voices offer a rich meditation on the natural world and our relationship with it.

Free to attend and open to all ages, this dual exhibition brings together painting and sculpture in an atmospheric gallery setting. Whether you're drawn to Downie's ecological eye or Bird's ceramic enquiry into place and memory, there's something genuinely thought-provoking on offer.
