About

Now in its ninth year, the Glenfiddich Artists in Residence programme has become widely acclaimed in the art world for providing artists with an original setting, space and community in which to work. Selected artists live for three months at the distillery producing art inspired by its people, craftsmanship and surroundings. This exhibition at The Fleming Collection will contain a selection of works that have been created by a number of the artists over the past nine years including Kenny Hunter, Alison Watt, Alex Frost, Christine Borland, Ross Sinclair amongst others. Set in the heart of the Highlands, Glenfiddich (meaning ‘Valley of the Deer' in Gaelic) is a place of breathtaking beauty. The vibrant colours of an artist's palate fill the surrounding hills and forests, while haunting castle ruins and a bubbling natural spring add to the romance. Glenfiddich is little changed since 1886, when William Grant and his nine children rolled up their sleeves to build the Distillery with their bare hands. These same silent warehouses and steamy mash rooms produce the world's favourite single malt Scotch whisky today.
