Iain came to the attention of the Royal Scottish Academy in 1967 where he was the recipient of the RSA Andrew Carnegie Award and, in 1968, he won the RSA Benno Schotz Prize for Sculpture at the 142nd Annual Exhibition. In 1971, he won the RSA Latimer Award and in 1992 was a recipient of an RSA Gillies Award which enabled him a further period of travel and research.
As a sculptor, Iain produced studio items for exhibition and also took on significant commissions. Producing works in both stone and wood, his commission Iain R McIntosh RSA pieces included sculptures for St Machar’s Cathedral in Aberdeen, Kinnaird Castle in Angus and the Glenfiddich Distillery in Moray. His work is also part of the Collection of the P&O cruise liner Arcadia. Inspired by his young daughters, and with a nod to his father’s business, Iain turned his hand to designing and making rocking horses which were sold via Harrods department store in London. -
