Kilmorack, Kilmorack Gallery, Contemporary art gallery in Kilmorack, Scotland
Kilmorack Gallery is a contemporary art space housed in a former church building near Beauly, defined by its large windows and open rooms. The gallery displays paintings, sculptures, and ceramics across several interconnected exhibition rooms.
The building was constructed in 1786 as a Church of Scotland chapel and underwent modifications in 1835. It gained protected status in 1971 before being converted into an art gallery in later years.
The gallery exhibits works by Scottish artists in a space that respects the religious heritage of the building through its layout and proportions. The high ceilings and generous windows create an unconventional setting where visitors experience contemporary art surrounded by traces of its past function.
Entry is free and the rooms connect openly, allowing visitors to move through at their own pace. Natural light from the large windows makes viewing artwork comfortable throughout the day.
A metal lizard sculpture by Helen Denerley adorns the exterior of the building since 1998, often the first thing visitors notice when arriving. This artwork has become an unmistakable feature of the location.
