Thomas Dudgeon and his Scottish Dioramas (13)


Featuring  The Royal Diorama of Scotland and Birrell's Grand Diorama of Scotland


Brodick Castle Arran Marine Waterfront, 1878. Thomas Dudgeon. An example of Thomas's paintings in Scotland.

 Neil (my husband) has been researching Scottish history, and my Mother's family history for over 30 years. He also has a lot of Scottish blood running through his veins. A labour of love I guess you could say. When I started collating the mountain of Neil's research on Thomas Dudgeon, and then commenced writing this story, I realised just how much Thomas's extensive talent as a Landscape and  Scenic artist were showcased and publicly appreciated during the 1800's.
