She is perhaps better known for her brightly-coloured depictions of anthropomorphic animals.
But children’s author Beatrix Potter, creator of Jemima Puddle-Duck and Peter Rabbit, was also a celebrated botanist.
Now an exclusive exhibition of her nature paintings is to go on display in the area which sparked her interest in natural science.
The exhibition Beatrix the Botanist: exclusive Beatrix Potter watercolours will be the inaugural exhibition in the Birnam Arts visual art gallery when it opens next month.
Potter holidayed near Dunkeld in 1892, when she met Perthshire environmentalist Charles McIntosh.
McIntosh, who was also the postman at Inver, would sent Potter fungi specimens when she returned to London so she could conduct experiments in her home and record detailed observations often forming the first documented evidence of some species in Britain.
In return, the author would send watercolour paintings back to McIntosh for his comments.
More than 20 of these paintings were given to Perth Museum and Art Gallery on his death in 1922 and it is these images that will form the core of the special exhibition.
The watercolours have only had one previous outing in public and the letter correspondence between the pair will be on show for the first time.
The exhibition, which will showcase Potter as a pioneer, botanist and fine artist, runs from June 21 to July 13.
