TOP ARTISTS from across Scotland are to feature in a new gallery opening in East Perthshire this weekend.

Following the success of their temporary exhibition last year, Stirling-based husband and wife team Cameron and June McCann are to bring their Ealain Gallery to Blairgowrie’s Roy Sim Antiques on a permanent basis.

Each exhibition will run for approximately eight weeks, with the first opening on Sunday March 22 at 12noon.

A host of paintings by renowned Scottish artists, such as Angus MacDonald, Donald MacDonald, Dot Walker, Ritchie Collins, John Bathgate and Greer Rolston will be on display at the Lower Mill Street venue until Sunday May 17.

June McCann, who has been running the Ealain Gallery alongside husband Cameron for three years, said: "We are delighted to have the opportunity to be coming to Blairgowrie."

Roy Sim, owner of the Riverside antique store, said: "We are delighted to host the gallery as it will bring something new to the town and will attract people from all over Scotland."
