Artist Biography

The National Trust for Scotland During the 1960s and 1970s, brought Jim Nicholson on board as the trust's first Art Designer, for whom the post of Art Director was later specially created.

Nicholson was in his own right a landscape painter of distinction.
The National Trust for Scotland was founded in 1931, 35 years after its English counterpart. Besides managing 18 major houses, it is the fourth largest landowner - after the Forestry Commission, the Duke of Buccleuch and the Scottish Office - in Scotland. Nicholson was responsible for the production of all its booklets, guidebooks, publicity leaflets and advertising.
