"I first stumbled across Browns Gallery ten years ago when I was coming out of Harry Gow's (later redubbed 'Le Lapin Agile' when it became a rendevous point for the artistically-bent riff-raff from Tain and its environs) with our then tiny twins and a big poke of Dream Rings.

Despite my misgivings - the gallery, after all, was some considerable distance from the cultural epicentres of Glasgow, Edinburgh and London - I was impressed by the total absence of the Scottish Swiss Tart School of Paintings, and the even less attractive Honolulu-in-the-Highlands Sunsetcsapes.

Since then I have really been impressed by gallery director Gordon Brown's far-sightedness in acquiring the old bakehouse adjacent to the 'Lapin Agile' and transforming it into a great space for showing contemporary paintings that's on par with the best of the country."
