NT 23457 70663 A programme of painting recording was undertaken, 1 – 25 May 2018, of the James Norie painting in Old Craig, Craig House. The painting probably dates from the mid-18th century and has been associated with the redevelopment of Old Craig by John Elphinstone. It is the last remaining panel of a set of four wooden panels by the artist James Norie (1684 – 1757).

The painting is in good condition with some discolouration of the glossy varnish. It is fastened within the upper level of the timber panelling in a representative room at the first floor of Old Craig. Additionally, three nails within the painting have been used to further secure the painting to the wall. The painting conservation specialist Sylvia Krauss assessed the painting in situ and produced a list of recommendations for the further treatment of the painting.
