Farm Buildings on Culloden Moor, March 1944
For the first half of 2024, Pictures of the Month marked the 80th anniversary of Edwin's travels when working as a hospital orderly during World War 2. By March 1944 he was working at Raigmore Hospital near Inverness. This is one of two paintings he made of farm buildings on Culloden Moor, a few miles from Raigmore Hospital, during March 1944. The scene of this one is close to the big railway viaduct at Culloden. Part of the viaduct is shown in the painting, above the right hand end of the farm buildings, but Edwin has chosen to paint it in a very subdued manner, presumably because he was more interested in other features of the scene.
