Each year it gives us great pleasure to welcome the Travelling Gallery to the school. This bus has been modified to serve as a travelling Art Gallery. Over the years we have enjoyed a variety of visits form the Travelling Gallery with a number of exhibitions which feature artists who use a range of media. This term, the exhibition was entitled “This Land” and presented a beautifully alternative view of the Scottish landscape featuring photographs, paintings, sculptures and video from different areas of Scotland. The children very much enjoyed the visit from the Travelling Gallery and it was pleasing to read the comments they left in the Gallery’s Visitor’s Book.
