Biographical highlights: Around 1930 Thomas Hutchinson Peddie returned to Scotland to pursue his work as a painter and muralist, settling at 22 King Street, Perth, and later at 3A Charlotte Street, Perth.
Some of the works for which Peddie became best known are the murals in the Masonic Lodge at Atholl Crescent, Perth, the murals on “The Queen Mary,” and the mural of the entrance of Mary Queen of Scots to Aberdeen in the dining room of the renovated Douglas Hotel, Aberdeen, painted in 1937.
He was also commissioned for ten paintings for the dining room of the Gordon Hotel, Kingussie, Invernesshire, which he completed between 1936 and 1938. Three of his other paintings are owned by the Council of Perth and Kinross.
