James Campbell Noble

He initially studied at the board of manufacturing in Edinburgh and then the Royal Scottish Academy schools under William McTaggart and George Paul Chalmers.

Then when he became a member of ARSA in 1879 and the Royal Scottish Academy in 1892, he abandoned the previous subject for land- and seascape scenery and marine paintings of rivers and ports.

He painted the scenery on the Clyde, Seine, Tyne, Merwede, Maas (Meus) and Rhine.

In the early 1880s he painted the rocky coastal scenes of Berwickshire whilst he was living in Coldingham.

He is buried in Rosebank Cemetery in Edinburgh midway along the eastern path of the main area.
