In honour of his contribution to Scottish art and education a Trust Fund has been set up in his name to make an award honour Archie’s invaluable contribution to Scottish art and education by funding awards to individuals or projects that promote the arts in South West Scotland.

The administration of the fund was passed to Archie’s nephews, Alan and John Watt together with nominated Trustees‚ Valerie Sadler and Dawn Henderby. The Trust is concentrating for the moment on fund raising and securing Charitable Status. Decisions on how the funds will be awarded are being discussed with advice from Archie’s friends and colleague‚ Hugh Bryden and Hazel Campbell. Watch this space for further details.
