About MePeter Graham trained at the Trustees Academy in Edinburgh under Robert Scott Lauder. He began his career as a figurative artist but soon became immersed in landscape painting.

He was best known for his talent for depicting the wild, rugged topography of the Highlands. His choice of subject matter ensured his popularity in London, where he was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy, as well as north of the border.
