The old Salmon Bothy, Cullen
by James Selbie
I have just received this photo of one of dad’s paintings.
Unfortunately it has had a sad and neglected past, but its new owner kindly contacted me with a brief history.
He told me that he had just discovered it in a shed in North Uist and estimated it had been lying there for around 20years after the previous owners of the croft had died.
As you can see there is a fair bit of damage to the painting, but the good news is that the new owner hopes to have it reframed and hung in his home.
I wonder why this painting of the “Old Salmon Bothy, Cullen” ended up on the outer Hebrides......there must have been some connection as my father never visited this Island!?
