"Clansman at Barra", a marine painting by Gordon Frickers, 91 x 61 cm (36" x 24"), Commissioned by Calmac. Available as a print from our print page.
Clansman at Barra and a royal recommendation :
Princess Anne who know the Western Isles very well, had a 15 minute chat with me at the Clansman’s naming ceremony during which she turned to the directors and told them the painting is perfect and they should commission me to paint more for them.
You could commission a similar painting, I still have my sketches and notes.
Available as a fine art print on canvas for the look and feel of the original, signed, numbered from our ‘Marine Art Prints‘ page
from £187.00 inc packing & registered post.
The original is in the main salon on board Clansman as shown here with the then M D of Calmac, Captain John Simkins.

Ship art for professionals: Caledonian MacBrayne Ltd known locally as Calmac commissioned this painting and two other paintings of ‘Clansman’.
Clansman paintings
This picture was ordered by the managing director of Caledonian MacBrayne Ltd as the first of a series which included ‘Loch Nevis‘ and ‘Hebrides‘.
Calmac had a new ferry building at the Appledore Shipyard, N. Devon for the Western Isles, The Outer Hebrides in particular for Barra.
Calmac required 3 paintings suitable to present to Royalty.
They were confident I had plenty of experience of this sort of work so specifications and budget were quickly sorted, contract agree and visits to the design office (Glasgow) and to Barra.
After the ship naming I was presented to the Princess Royal, Princess Anne, a 15 minute conversation about paintings and the Hebridean islands ensued.
This very successful project produced further commissions from Calmac.
Today you can view “Clansman departing Castle Bay, Barra” onboard ship in the main saloon of Clansman, or collect a beautiful signed copy here.
