Historic Artist Andrew Hillhouse, 1964-2018

[William Douglas]

Several of the illustrations used in the Douglas Archives were created by Andrew Hillhouse, who died on Sunday 16th April 2018.

Andrew worked as a technician in the School of Landscape Architecture, ESALA, Edinburgh University. He drew, painted and illustrated in his spare time depicting, predominantly but not exclusively, various periods of Scottish history.

Whilst much of his work was used for book covers, internal illustrations, CD covers, advertisements, publicity, marketing and campaign material, his Douglas illustrations have been used by Douglases worldwide.

Andy's father and brother both died within weeks of being diagnosed with their particular types of cancer, so he was philosophical about his prognosis and hospitalisation. 

Our sympathy go to his wife, Vicky and son, Gus.
