I caught that the over day and it was quite awesome. I wrote a few of the artists down:

allan ramsey
henry raeburn
david wilkie
gavin hamilton
david allan

Henry Raeburn was bad ass.

And I thought Glasgow School of Art looked shabby on the outside...

Quite interesting, my favourite scottish artist is Peter Howsen, his stylised figures are amazing.

I performed in that church which it started in.

Played for the Perth festival.

Ta for posting.

Ta, that's my afternoon sorted.

Edit: That was pretty good, although there's something weird about seeing places you know very well on telly..

btw If you're a Virgin Media subscriber it's on the catch up telly thing for a couple of days.
