Biography

Samuel Bough captured the light of Scottish landscapes with a luminous palette, bringing distant hills and rivers to life for patrons who admired both his skill and his thoughtful temperament.

He travelled widely, always returning with new studies that enriched the Dean Cemetery community of artists, and the grave there marks the passing of a painter who shared Scotland's beauty with a gentle bravery.
