The Hunterian's important collection of Scottish Colourists consists of some hundred works. Highlights include Les Eus, one of Fergusson's most ambitious canvas showing six sculptural nudes dancing against a stylised background; Still-Life and Rosechatel, a magnificent example of the series of bold interiors Cadell painted at Ainslie Place, Edinburgh, between 1920 and 1927; some of Hunters earliest known drawings, giving a fascinating insight into his otherwise little known Californian years; prints by Hunter and Fergusson, not represented in any other public collections; a group of ten Iona landscapes by Peploe and Cadell; and Peploe's New Abbey, Dumfriesshire (Summer), capturing a beautiful symphony of green, white and light blue.
