This fascinating 18th-century house in the pleasant coastal town of Kirkcudbright was the home and studio from 1901 to 1933 of the artist E A Hornel, one of the 'Glasgow Boys'. It contains many of his works, paintings by contemporary artists, and an extensive collection of Scottish books and local history material.
Hornel's studio overlooks the delightful Japanese-style garden, still much as he created it. Beyond is a 'Scottish' garden in a fine position above the River Dee.
