Note the bust of Selkirk Artist Tom Scott mounted on wall of this building.
Tom Scott was born in Selkirk in 1854, the son of a tailor and a clothier. After leaving school he worked for a time in the business, but, much against his parents' wishes, he decided to become an artist, and entered the Trustees' School at the Mound under Mr. C. H. Hodder, proceeding later to the Royal Scottish Academy Life Class, when the visitors were MacTaggart, Lockhart and Mr. Robert Gibb.
While a student he made some excellent life studies in water colour, and gained the Stuart Prize with a composition entitled "A Border Raid." Many of his early landscape studies done in the beautiful policies of "The Haining," Selkirk, were marked by careful drawing of tress, giving evidence of an assured and facile technique, and presaging his skilful command later on of water colour in his larger and more ambitious pictures.
After he few years in Edinburgh, he removed to Earlston, Berwickshire, where he had a long and serious illness, but making a wonderful recovery, he was able to resume work, stimulated by an intense determination to make up for his enforced idleness.
After his marriage he went to live at the picturesque village of Bowden, sheltering under the Eildon Hills, but finally settled at Leslie Cottage, Selkirk, which was his home for the rest of his life. Scott made numerous painting tours on the Continent, France, Italy, Holland, and Morocco, among other places, finding material for any interesting and beautiful drawings.
It was, however, in his own Border Country that his "heart untravelled" centred. In a region teeming with the spirit of romance and story, versed from boyhood in its history and ballad lore, from such sources he found inspiration for many of his large and important works. It may be, however, that in his smaller drawings, prompted by the natural beauty of the scenes among which he lived, greater spontaneity and suggestiveness were obtained.
He loved the Border hills, knew every winding of the Ettrick, the Yarrow, and the Tweed. Shortly before his death he humbly said to a friend, he had endeavoured to record, and hoped he had revealed in his work, something of the beauty and haunting charm of the Borderland.
Tom Scott had considerable Antiquarian knowledge, and gradually acquired a large collection of stone and bronze implements, armour, weapons, and other objects of interest.
In later years, owing to impaired health, his sketching activities were restricted, but he was able to visit his much loved resort "St. Mary's Loch," where, accompanied by Mrs. Scott, he lived and painted in a caravan for a few summer months.
Towards the end while confined to the house, he was delighted to have visits from his many friends, ever welcomed with kindly hospitality and genial courtesy. His mind to the last continued clear and active.
With a dash of rugged borderer's temperament, Scott had a forceful personality, holding strong views on Art, Literature and kindred subjects. He has marked likes and dislikes, and his opinions were expressed with vigorous emphasis, tempered with a blending of whimsical humour.
That a prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, was not Scott's experience. Almost from the beginning of his career he was appreciated by his fellow-townsmen, few homes in the neighbourhood of Selkirk are without a Tom Scott water colour.
Among his more important works are "Otter-hunting on the Ettrick," "Meet of the Duke of Buccleuch's Fox Hounds at Riddell House," "Border Moss Troopers returning from a Raid," "The Arch of Titus and Colosseum, Rome," the property of A. F. Roberts, Esq., of Fairnlee,"The Legend of Lady Wood," the property of Alexander T. Roberts, Esq., of Drygrange, Melrose, "Sir Walter Scott's Gate, Bermesyde Hill," the property of W.W. Webster, Esq., Denley, Arbroath.
Exhibiting for the first time at the Academy in 1878, Scott contributed regularly thereafter. Elected an Associate in 1888, Academician in 1902, he died at Leslie Cottage on 21st July 1927.

Studio Tour Preview by RCR Entertainment Reporter Brittany Leoni
Exciting news...LA is now open! There is no doubt that Angelinos have missed being out and about during the past year. Now that LA is open, everyone is very excited about the expansion of the iconic Warner Bros. Studio Tour Hollywood here in Burbank. The updated tour opens today, June 26th, with a wide range of expansions honoring the studio’s history.
When guests first arrive they will see a new Welcome Center, expanding into a “Storytelling Showcase” exploring the studio’s origins and history.
I was super excited to have the pleasure of interviewing Wonder Woman and Wonder Woman 1984 director, Patty Jenkins, at the early tour opening on Thursday, the 24th.
Q: "Having had the chance to now walk through the exhibit and see the props and costumes for Wonder Woman, is there anything you see in the exhibit that sparks a fond memory from filming?"
Patty: I think that they all do. I think that all of the objects in there mean something special to me. Particularly the wings from Wonder Woman 1984 - to see those out in full display in the exhibit. We actually made those wings on set even though we didn't really need to, because you could just do them in CG. But we did, and so everything about them like the curvature of the line at the top is perfect. I saw myself going back into that critical mode of, "Oh good, you guys really got that line right." So many of those objects are such beautiful things ultimately that these great people I have worked with bring back great memories.
Q: "What's been your experience directing such an iconic character, not only on the individual movies but being a part of the DC family?
Patty: It's an incredible honor. It's such an honor that you can't even...you don't know what to do with it. Growing up I watched Superman and the Batman's. I get to be the first who makes Wonder Woman, and I'm like, "What do you do with that thought process?! I don't know." All I end up knowing is that I love Wonder Woman and I loved the comic book films. And someone's gotta direct it. It turned out that was me and I'm glad I got to be a part of it. I believe in these DC characters. I think that they really are about trying to be a hero in the world. There are heroes who are about different things, like being unlikely and chosen. The DC heroes aren't about that, they are about helping people, and I love that and believe in that."
After the “Storytelling Showcase,” guests will hop into a tour car and be driven across the lot to Stage 48: Script to Screen, the Studio Tour’s interactive sound stage. In Stage 48 there is both a Central Perk set from Friends and a set reproduction of Sheldon’s apartment from The Big Bang Theory.
So, we know there has always been a Central Perk/Friends part of the tour. HOWEVER there is a huge expansion of Central Perk Café—this new version is way bigger than the original one, and directly connects to replicas of the characters props, including Joey and Chandler’s seats and their foosball table.
Speaking of Friends, none other than Chandler's ex-beau, Janice, AKA Maggie Wheeler, also greeted us by the Central Perk Café to say some special words about her experience of playing Janice.
Q: "In your mind, where would Janice be today in 2021?"
A: "Oh. My. God," (in her Janice voice). I think she has a very successful line of handbags - animal print, zebra, tiger, leopard, and a podcast for how to get past the one who got away."
Q: "Where does Maggie end and Janice begin?"
A: "I don't know where Maggie ends and Janice begins - but probably when "this happens," (in her Janice voice). But I grew up in NYC around a lot of women like Janice, and I think it was just a matter of time before I let the cat out of the bag."
Guests will then enter an “Action and Magic Made Here” exhibit. You’ll see a big Batcave full of costumes, vehicles, and props from the DC heroes and villains that we know and love.
Starting June 26th, be sure to grab your ticket for the studio tour...you won't want to miss it!
