After his first painting trip to Comrie in 1920, Gillies travelled all around Scotland with friends and family, always with art materials in hand. John Maxwell, William MacTaggart, D M Sutherland and Donald Moodie were regular painting companions over the years.
Once, when asked what he had done on holiday, he replied “paint, what else would I do?!”. The West Highlands were a favourite destination and he visited Laide and Wester Ross in July 1937. This view may be from Gruinard Bay looking across to the Coigach Hills.
