Refuge

I love this  watercolour , “Something Biblical, Isle of Bute” which resonates today with so much that is happening in the world.
 
It forms part of Derek Robertson’s current exhibition in the Smith gallery, Stirling where his theme is “Migrations” from people to birds.
 
Some years ago we visited the Isle of Bute where the first refugees from Syria were sent.
Many were students and academics who had, within a short space of time, lost their homes and careers and suddenly found themselves refugees and offered sanctuary on a remote Scottish island.
