"Fish Curer's Yard, Eyemouth" is an oil painting by Scottish artist James Whitelaw Hamilton (1860–1932), known for his landscapes and marine scenes. Created in the late 19th or early 20th century, this work depicts a scene from the historic fishing town of Eyemouth, located in the Scottish Borders. The painting captures the bustling activity within a fish curer's yard, where fish, likely herring, are being processed for preservation and sale.

In this composition, Hamilton showcases his skill in rendering light and atmosphere, with attention to the effects of sunlight on the figures and structures within the yard. The painting is characterized by its vibrant color palette and the use of impasto, a technique where paint is laid on the canvas thickly, creating texture and a sense of movement. The artist's interest in everyday life and the working people is evident in the detailed portrayal of the fish curers at work, providing a glimpse into the local industry and community of Eyemouth at the turn of the century.

James Whitelaw Hamilton was associated with the Glasgow Boys, a group of artists who aimed to infuse realism and naturalism into Scottish art, moving away from the sentimentality of the Victorian era. "Fish Curer's Yard, Eyemouth" is reflective of this movement's ethos, with its focus on real-life subjects and its departure from the romanticized landscapes of the time.

The painting is part of Scotland's national art collection and contributes to the understanding of Scottish cultural heritage and the history of its coastal communities. It is not only significant for its artistic merit but also as a historical document of the fishing industry, which played a crucial role in the economy and society of Scotland's coastal towns.
