Waller Hugh Paton

Waller Hugh Paton RSA RSW (27 July 1828 – 8 March 1895) was a Scottish landscape artist in the second half of the 19th century.

In 1858 he and his brother illustrated William Edmondstoune Aytoun's book "Lays of the Scottish Cavaliers",[4] published in 1863.

[5] Paton was one of the few of his generation to work "en plain air", the fashion then being to complete landscapes in the comfort of a studio.

[6] From 1859, Paton lived in Edinburgh, initially staying with his brother Joseph in his large Georgian townhouse at 37 Drummond Place in the New Town.

[9] Paton died at his home, 14 George Square, Edinburgh,[10] on 8 March 1895 from pleurisy, which had plagued him for the last 10 years of his life.
