Above Inveralligin

Above Inveralligin captures the fresh, windswept beauty of Upper Loch Torridon on a lively spring day. We peer through a cluster of trees towards a traditional croft building, its corrugated roof glowing with deep rust tones against the soft grey of stone walls. Lush green grasses, full of early-season vitality, sweep across the foreground, enclosed by a low rock wall. Above, a brilliant blue sky is scattered with fast-moving clouds, bringing a sense of light and motion to the still scene.
 
Set within the rugged crofting township of Inveralligin – whose name translates from Gaelic as at the mouth of the River Alligin – the painting evokes the quiet resilience of life on the north shore of Loch Torridon. The building’s weathered textures and striking colours speak of years shaped by wind and sea, whilst the surrounding landscape reflects the enduring allure of the Highlands. The work is presented close-framed in a wide, limed wood frame under glass, with a framed size of 84.5cm x 55cm.
