Scope and Content Gallery, Broughton House, Nos 10-12 High Street, Kirkcudbright, Dumfries & Galloway, from east This photograph shows the gallery, which was built in about 1910. Works by Hornel, who was one of the Scottish Impressionists known as the 'Glasgow Boys', hang on the walls. Above the wooden panelling there is a plaster replica of the Parthenon frieze. The grand fireplace is in a Jacobean Renaissance style, and features an engraving of children playing pipes. Light is provided through the engraved glass panels in the ceiling. Hornel was born in Australia, but came to Kirkcudbright with his parents when he was 18 months old. In 1883, a painting by him entitled 'A Glimpse of Kirkcudbright' was accepted by the Royal Scottish Academy. He had a great interest in Galloway and requested that his gallery and library be made available to local people after his death. In 1895, the artist Edward Atkinson Hornel (1864-1933) bought Broughton House, in which he lived and worked until his death. The house was built in the mid-18th century as the town house for the Murrays of Broughton. Hornel employed the architect John Keppie (1862-1945) to design a gallery and studio, which are now open to the public. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
