aurel Kilgore has lived in Scotland, Malawi,
Raleigh and elsewhere, but she feels at home in Hillsborough where she lives on the banks of the Eno River. She and her husband, Sidney Kilgore, purchased the 1794 James Hogg house in December 2021. James, a native of Scotland, named the two-story home Banks of the Eno, and soon it will bear an Orange County Historical Museum heritage marker. Its front rooms act as Laurel’s gallery with a focus on 19th- and 20th-century artwork, most of which comes from Scotland. Saltire Gallerie was named for the flag of Scotland (with its diagonal cross).
Laurel Kilgore’s Saltire Gallerie has been a stop during the Hillsborough Arts Council Last Friday Art Walk.
