"A festive evening in December, in the Sutherland (Scotland) town of Dornoch - the Lone Piper stands in readiness on the turret roof.

Visitors, friends and neighbours have, as usual, enjoyed the sounds of the pipe band as they march up and down Castle Street and Dornoch Square.

Glistening pavements and streets reflect a variegated palette of jewel colours from buildings bathed in a golden glow, seasonal lights sparkling in leaf bare trees and the moonlit midnight-blue sky.

We spot a cheery Barbara and Sandy Morrison (scions of Dornoch) topped in their celebratory red jester hats, youngsters enjoying the simple pleasure that sparklers bring, a white-capped boy engrossed in the pipers, a fur-hatted lady striding purposefully home and a waistcoated figure who seems to be staring back at you, the viewer of this painting.

The picturesque Scottish Highlands cathedral town of Dornoch prides itself on its community spirit, at both the personal and business level -- this painting celebrates one aspect of that sense of community -- the Dornoch Pipe Band and the tradition of the lone piper on the turret of the Castle Hotel, so enjoyed by residents and international visitors.

Another aspect of Dornoch's community spirit is that of giving, with year- round fund-raising for all manner of worthy causes -- including the invaluable work carried out in support of Macmillan Cancer Support.

It gives me the greatest pleasure to dedicate the full one hundred copies of this Limited Edition Print to this exceptional cause. For each framed copy sold in the 'Lone Piper' edition of one hundred prints, £80 is remitted to the Dornoch Branch of fund-raisers to add to the current Highland Appeal.

Provided with Commemorative Certificate of Authenticity signed by the Lone Piper and Paul Taggart "
