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, showcasing Scottish art and artists in tribute to the family who lived in the home for nearly a century.
Our Commitment
Saltire Gallerie is dedicated to the research and restoration of artworks in our collection. Our holdings emphasize the natural beauty of Scotland, particularly plein air works from the 18th to early 20th centuries, occasionally acquiring Dutch, British, French, and Italian paintings. We source works internationally, focusing on technical virtuosity, beauty, and artists represented in museums and respected galleries. As a small gallery in a historic town, we are able to offer clients exceptional value compared to larger New York and London storefront galleries. Contact us to schedule an appointment to view the collection or inquire about a painting through our website.
Our Vision
Our vision at Saltire Gallerie is to become an art gallery recognized for our promotion of Scottish fine art appreciation and cultural exchange. We strive to inspire and engage audiences through thought-provoking exhibitions, one of a kind art pieces for sale, art talks, and community outreach.
