A beautiful original painting (acrylic on stretched 120 x 100 cm canvas) by renowned Scottish artist Hatti Pattisson. Hatti has been creating expressive, emotive land and seascapes for over fifteen years. Born and raised in the East Neuk of Fife and now living in Perth, the spaces and places around her have always inspired her. Hatti’s work explores three key themes; floral, landscape and seascape, each an expression of her relationship to her surroundings, thoughts, memories and emotions.

This piece is inspired by the artist’s surrounding in rural Perthshire in Scotland. The hills, lochs, rivers and ever-changing light and weather is a strong source of which has sparked a new body of work.

Postage will vary depending on location and will be an additional cost to the buyer.

Frank Pottinger RSA 'Coverland' Bronze Sculpture 26 x 20 cm

Frank Pottinger RSA (1932-2022) was a renowned sculptor and printmaker. Trained at Edinburgh College of Art, where he graduated in 1963, he visited Turkey and Greece on a travelling scholarship before returning to teach in Edinburgh, Fife and Aberdeen. He later became a full-time artist and won a number of awards including a Scottish Arts Council Award; William J Macaulay Award and an IBM Award. He was also an elected member of the RSA and SSA.

Frank worked both in printmaking and sculpture, with his sculptures mainly larger wooden pieces or smaller scale ceramic works, generally abstract in style. He has been an artist in residence in various places in the UK and Germany and has exhibited internationally. He was a regular exhibitor at Compass Gallery, Glasgow throughout his career and his work is held in both private and public collections including The Hunterian Art Gallery & Museum, Glasgow; Paisley Art Gallery and Dundee University.

"There is a vernacular theme in my work and it is one in which I allow the widest possible interpretation of the word. In that respect I have a notion that in landscape, music, artefacts and dialect speech, categories however familiar, there exist subtle affinities of form. The forms which are developed from those connections I attempt to express in sculptures and prints, and the finished work may sometimes involve both." Frank Pottinger RSA.

Frank's family have very kindly donated this piece with 100% of the sale coming directly to St Columba's Hospice Care, so you can own a collectible piece knowing that your money has also made a difference.

'The pleasure of being seen' by Amaal Kebabti, 60 × 60 cm, Gold frame

A vibrant, expressive work exploring femininity as strength rather than softness alone. Through layered pinks, warm reds, and flashes of gold, the painting captures a moment of confidence, visibility, and self-possession. Movement and texture reflect an internal shift — from restraint to openness, from observation to presence.

Rather than performing femininity, the work embodies it: grounded, unapologetic, and alive. The gestures across the canvas mirror the act of claiming space — allowing emotion, beauty, and desire to exist without explanation. Energetic and celebratory, the piece is designed to command attention while remaining deeply personal.

Artist Bio
Amaal Kebabti is a Glasgow-based contemporary abstract artist whose work explores colour, atmosphere, and emotion through layered texture and expressive gesture. Drawing inspiration from both Scottish landscapes and Mediterranean warmth, she creates paintings designed to bring depth, calm, and presence into interior spaces.
Artist Statement
My paintings are built through layers of colour, texture, and movement, allowing each surface to develop organically until it holds a sense of balance and quiet energy. I’m drawn to earthy tones, mineral hues, and light-reflective elements because they create warmth and stillness within a space. Each piece is intended not just to be viewed, but to live within an environment — subtly shaping the mood and atmosphere around it.

You can either take the piece home this evening or collect from the hospice the week after the event.

Born and raised in Edinburgh, I volunteered in St Columba's Hospice Iona Café in 1995 aged 17. My journey has taken me from Scotland to Asia and the Alps, teaching English, Theatre and Art and now running my own gallery and boutique. Throughout these moves, my love of nature and animals has been a constant source of connection and inspiration. Among them, cows hold a special place in my heart — for me, they embody the feminine balance of strength and gentleness, resilience and creativity.

This painting portrays a Val d’Hérens cow, a breed native to my village in the Swiss Alps of Valais. Compact and adaptable, these black cows are famed for their calm strength and instinctive “horn locking” rituals, through which they peacefully establish hierarchy within the herd. A reminder that power can be quiet and strong at the same time.

Postage from Switzerland to the UK is included.

“Grandma, Me and Our Diaries at 23”

Treat yourself — or someone special — to this personally signed copy of tonight's host, comedian and impressionist Jess Robinson’s heartwarming and hilarious memoir, Life is Rosi: Grandma, Me and Our Diaries.

This uplifting book chronicles the unforgettable bond between Jess and her irrepressible Grandma Rosi through the pages of their childhood diaries — revealing poignant, hilarious, and deeply human moments that span generations.

A fresh, funny family history following the lives of comedian Jess Robinson and her German Jewish grandmother Rosi

When Grandma Rosi was 23, she was expelled from Nazi Germany and interned as a refugee in Zbąszyń, Poland. She used her diary to document every detail of her experiences, from being deported by the Gestapo to stolen conversations with her first love.

When Jess was 23, she was living in London, struggling with a fledgling acting career, a failed love life and rock-bottom self-esteem. She used her diary to rant about her mum and track her daily calories. Well, it was the noughties…

Rapidly approaching her 40th birthday – and, honestly, wanting an EU passport to beat the airport queues – comedian and impressionist Jess Robinson finally digs into the archives of her German Jewish ancestry. With each freshly translated page of her grandmother's wartime diaries, Jess sets out to discover who Grandma Rosi really was – and maybe learn a thing or two about herself. After all, it's easy to forget who you really are when you spend every day pretending to be other people…

Bravely reopening her own diaries (which had been very securely locked away for nearly two decades), Jess follows the two young women as they navigate life at 23, finding a shared sense of identity despite their entirely different circumstances.

Exploring everything from lessons in resilience to the traits we inherit from our matriarchs – and not forgetting trying to make new friends at the German embassy – Life Is Rosi is a warm, witty and wise book that gets to the heart of who we are, wherever we are.

A perfect blend of laughter and love, this exclusive signed edition is a must-have for fans of comedy, memoir, or multigenerational storytelling.

Don’t miss your chance to own a signed piece of Jess Robinson’s world!

If you do miss out, you can pre-order the book at Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Rosi-Grandma-Our-Diaries/dp/B0FH55DR9D - to receive it when it is released on 29th January 2026.

A unique, hand-embellished, one-of-a-kind print, signed by the artist.
This is a print of an original painting in acrylics. Dimensions: 35 cm x 35 cm stretched canvas over wood frame

Désalpe Cow With A Soulful Gaze

Born and raised in Edinburgh, I volunteered in St Columba's Hospice Iona Café in 1995 aged 17. My journey has taken me from Scotland to Asia and the Alps, teaching English, Theatre and Art and now running my own gallery and boutique in the Swiss Alps.

When our local cows are brought down from their mountain pastures at the end of the summer, their proud owners deck them with flowers. There is a cacophony of dingalinging from their bells as they parade through villages towards their farms for the winter. The cow who has produced the most milk in each herd is given an especially extravagant floral headdress. People line the streets, play alp horns and eat cheese as they celebrate the "Désalpes".

This was the first of many Désalpe cows I have been inspired to paint. I actually painted the original for my mother, so it is thoroughly imbued with love and is still one of my favourites.

Postage from Switzerland to the UK is included.

Produced at the Glenkinchie Distillery, located just 15 miles from Edinburgh, this whisky is often referred to as the "Edinburgh Malt," reflecting its rich heritage and close ties to the capital. Founded in 1825, the distillery is now part of Diageo’s esteemed Classic Malts range, showcasing its role as an iconic example of Lowland whisky craftsmanship. As part of Diageo’s Classic Malts range, this release is matured in American oak casks and bottled at 43% ABV, Glenkinchie 12 Year Old offers a delicate and approachable whisky with floral and fruity nuances, making it an ideal choice for both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts.

Nose - Very aromatic and flowery overall, like breathing in a country garden. Noticeable vanilla, cut flowers (daffodil, blossom and hints of lily) and beneath these, a clean, toasty note. Becomes increasingly sweet and creamy, with a lightly aromatic edge and fresh citrus, which all brings to mind lemon cheesecake. Water makes it still more creamy and scented.
Body - Light, smooth
Palate - A sweet soft start, like crême anglaise, soon becoming flowery again. A really smooth delivery, especially after adding a drop of water. The mid-palate is crisp and then the flavour settles into a tightly focused bundle of butter icing, lemon cheesecake and freesias.
Finish - Herbal and drying

An original, framed piece by Lucy E. Shaw, signed and with a certificate of authenticity. Mediums: acrylic paint, spray paint, collage and gold leaf
Dimensions: 63 cm x 83 cm (60 cm x 80 cm canvas board currently in a simple gold coloured frame)

Born and raised in Edinburgh, my journey has taken me from Scotland to Japan, France, Singapore, and now the Swiss Alps. Throughout these moves, my love of nature and animals has been a constant source of connection and inspiration. Among them, cows hold a special place in my heart — for me, they embody the feminine balance of strength and gentleness, resilience and creativity.

This painting portrays a Val d’Hérens cow, a breed native to my village in the Swiss Alps of Valais. Compact and powerful, these black cows are famed for their calm strength and instinctive “horn locking” rituals, through which they peacefully establish hierarchy within the herd. Traditionally, farmers would let these dignified contests decide which cows—and by extension, which herds—earned the finest pastures.

In this work, intricate mandalas and rich gold leaf highlight the cow as a timeless symbol of resilience, serenity, and heritage — an homage to both nature’s quiet power and the cultural threads that tie my own journey together.

Postage from Switzerland to the UK is included.

Maxim Emelyanychev conductor
Timothy Ridout viola

We launch our 2026/27 Season with a dazzling homage to Berlioz, the ultimate musical trailblazer. At the helm is our electrifying Principal Conductor, Maxim Emelyanychev, whose flair and imagination promise an unforgettable evening of drama and musical colour.

Our journey begins with Harold in Italy, Berlioz’s poetic response to Byron’s wanderer. Here, the viola becomes the voice of a restless soul, and Timothy Ridout, one of today’s most compelling violists, guides us through landscapes steeped in Italian light and lyricism.

Then, brace yourself for the full force of Symphonie fantastique, Berlioz’s revolutionary masterpiece. From its tender dreams to its hallucinatory visions of passion and the macabre, this is music that changed everything – a fevered confession in sound, brought vividly to life by Maxim and the SCO.

This lot is for two tickets in the Grand Circle to the 7.30pm performance at Edinburgh's Usher Hall on Thursday 24th September.
