East Linton
Artist: Gillies, William George, Sir, CBE RA RSA PPRSW · 1898-1973
A sketch made en plein air from the east bank of the River Tyne, looking roughly north-west towards the distinctive spire of the former Church of Scotland St Andrew's Church. At left the arched bridge carries Station Road across the river towards Bridgend.
The drawing is a preparatory study for a near identical watercolour view (RSA G.1991.023).
St Andrew's Church was closed in 1959 when it merged with Prestonkirk congregation and the building was sold in 1996 for domestic use. The cottage at mid distance right was demolished before 2023.
