Shalloch Cottage is in Girvan and the painting was gifted to Marion From Meg in 1969, but the actual date of the painting is not known, it is just signed WILLIAM WEIR in capitol letters. I would like to know if the artist is a listed artist and has he exhibited his work anywhere.

Weir is well known for painting in water colors. He has been known to paint cottages. He also signed his pictures using Capitol letters.

I thought the question "What type of haircuts to Christians get on their death bed" was weird...well maybe it still *is* a bit weirder, but this is kinda weird too. I love when artists during the Renaissance did that in their paintings...
