Alan Sutherland was born in Bombay, India in 1931, and lived there for the first three years of his life. Shortly after his 3rd birthday his parents moved back to Edinburgh where Alan spent his early formative years being educated at Loretto School in Musselburgh.

He graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 1952. He specialised in portraiture and painted many significant sitters. To mark the bicentenery in 1987 the New Club in Edinburgh, commissioned him for a portrait of their Patron His Royal Highness Prince Philip. Other notable works include the ceiling fresco at Invercreran House in Argyll Scotland.
