Opened in 2005 by the late Magnus Magnusson and named after the well-known Scottish ornithologist and wildlife artist, Donald Watson (1918-2005), the gallery is a custom-built display space which has been committed to exhibiting the best wildlife art from across the country since it opened in 2005.

Nature is both inside and outside when you visit this unique gallery which has stunning views of Aberlady Bay Local Nature Reserve. The gallery offers a year-round programme of exhibitions focused on nature, and in particular the inspirational world of birds. The exhibitions present a great variety of wildlife artists from all over the UK working in different media including painting, printmaking, sculpture and photography.
