• The Scottish Colourists - Extra Date Added

Enjoy an exclusive extra day with the Scottish Colourists as Dovecot opens its doors for a special Sunday viewing.

Discover the groundbreaking exhibition in partnership with the Fleming Collection, which for the first time showcases the Scottish Colourists in the context of their European contemporaries, interrogating how this international generation of radical painters forged a new language of colour in the early 20th century. 

The Scottish Colourists — SJ Peploe, JD Fergusson, GL Hunter, and FCB Cadell — are widely recognised as pioneers of early 20th-century Scottish art. Often exhibited as a quartet, their work will now be shown in the company of key figures such as Matisse and Derain, as well as the Bloomsbury Group’s Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. 

With every ticket you purchase, you are playing a vital role in supporting the work of Dovecot Studios and helping the preservation of the art of tapestry in Scotland.

The Dovecot Café will be open from 10.30am to 2.30pm on Sunday 29 June 2025.
