About the Gallery
Our Gallery
Located in Historic Hillsborough, Saltire Gallerie is proudly housed in the original 1781 home of Scottish immigrant James Hogg. Hogg was a Scottish-born merchant, land speculator, and civic leader who played an important role in colonial and early statehood North Carolina. Born in East Lothian, Scotland, he emigrated to North Carolina in 1774, first landing in Wilmington before moving inland to Cross Creek (now Fayetteville) and later settling in Hillsborough.
Visitors can experience the authentically restored front parlor rooms, which host art exhibitions that showcase Scottish art and artists. These exhibitions pay tribute to the family who lived in the home for nearly a century and foster a cultural exchange that highlights their rich heritage.
Our Commitment
Saltire Gallerie is dedicated to the research and restoration of artworks in our collection, with a focus on Scottish art that beautifully captures the natural beauty of Scotland. Our holdings prominently feature plein air works from the 18th to early 20th centuries, while we occasionally acquire Dutch, British, French, and Italian paintings. We source works internationally, emphasizing technical virtuosity and beauty, and spotlight artists represented in museums and respected galleries. As a small gallery in a historic town, we provide clients with exceptional value compared to larger New York and London storefront galleries. Through our art exhibitions, we also engage in cultural exchange, enriching the community's appreciation of diverse artistic expressions. Contact us to schedule an appointment to view the collection or inquire about a painting through our website.
