THE great-nephew of one of Scotland’s most lauded artists is campaigning to have the painter’s damaged gravestone rebuilt. Ian Watson, a long-time member of North Berwick Community Council, is hoping for the reinstatement of his relative Arthur Melville’s “lost” grave in Brookwood Cemetery, Surrey. Arthur Melville is considered one of the most innovative Scottish painters of his generation. He was born in 1855 in Loanhead-of-Guthrie in Angus and, when he was still a child, his family moved to East Linton, where he was apprenticed to a local grocer as a teenager and from where he walked to Haddington for evening classes in art.
