Charles's Watercolors Take Center Stage in Scotland

Prince Charles, a devoted painter, is currently being celebrated in Scotland as his watercolors are showcased at the Society of Caithness Artists’ 83rd annual exhibition. This event gives art enthusiasts a chance to admire the prince's artistic talents up close. Ian Scott, another artist featured in the exhibition, shared his thoughts with Page Six. "The Prince is a great fellow," Scott said. "He comes to Scotland every August. He enjoys his whiskey and even adopts a Scottish brogue when he's around." It’s clear that Charles not only loves the art but also immerses himself in the local culture during his visits.
