Broughton Gallery

Broughton Place in 2006

The Broughton Gallery is an art gallery in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland, in the village of Broughton.

The gallery was established in 1976 and run by Graham and Jane Buchanan-Dunlop for 30 years. In 2006 Bill McCabe took over as director.^[1] The gallery offers works by contemporary British artists and craft makers.

It is housed in Broughton Place, a historic house designed by Basil Spence in the style of a 17th-century Scots Baronial tower house. Architects, Rowand Anderson, Paul & Partners, were commissioned in 1935 by Professor and Mrs Elliott to design such a house, which was to be situated on the site of an earlier one owned by John Murray of Broughton, secretary to Prince Charles Edward Stuart ('Bonnie Prince Charlie') during the Jacobite Rising of 1745. Work began on the new house in 1936, and Basil Spence, a partner in the company, worked closely with Mrs Elliott to meet her requirements. The house was brick-built and harled, with wooden panelling and decorative plaster ceilings in the interior. Sculptor, Hew Lorimer, contributed a pair of relief panels and a pair of lion gateposts. The house was completed in 1938.^[2]

The house was later converted into flats, with the art gallery on the ground floor.^[2]
