Picture of the Month - Highland Landscape, Black Isle, 1944
For the first half of 2024, Pictures of the Month are marking the 80th anniversary of Edwin's travels when working as a hospital orderly during World War 2. Early in 1944 he was working at Raigmore Hospital near Inverness. This watercolour, "Highland Landscape, Black Isle", is dated 1944. The Black Isle is just a few miles north of Raigmore and could easily be reached by ferry in the 1940s. It's likely Edwin made the short trip there during time off from the hospital.
