James Robertson is best known for his paintings of land and seascape. For centuries, the seas around the coast of Scotland have been a source of endless inspiration for artists. Desolate island beaches, expansive oceans, wildlife, wilderness and the people's relationship with the sea have all played their part in building a visual history of Scotland through the eyes of its artists.
