The Scottish Highlands is an area full of history and tradition. Thanks to  local artist, brothers Derek and Graham Wood and their cousin Jim Oliver you can now own a piece of the Scottish Highlands as either an original or limited reproduction painting or as a one of a kind photograph. The trio operates a business named Highland Links and has produced and sold Scottish Highland artworks across the globe.

Derek Wood provides the skill to produce wonderful paintings of Scottish golf courses and brother Graham along with cousin Jim Oliver each have a keen eye for a perfect photograph of golf courses as well as other treasures of the Scottish Highlands.
Derek Wood gets his artistic  ability from his mother, Diana, who is an accomplished landscape artist who also uses the natural beauty of Scotland as subject matter. Derek lists Spey Valley Golf Club, Loch Ness Golf Club The Carnegie Club Skibo to name just a few of the Scottish golf courses he has painted.

The business has been in existence for a little more than four years and came about when Jim Oliver asked his painting cousin Derek Wood to produce a couple of paintings of local golf courses for his personal use, the rest as they say is history. From this point the trio formed a business relationship and Highland links was formed to bring the beauty of the Scottish Highlands to golf and art lover around the world.
