When Sir Arthur Sutherland purchased his Embleton estates in 1919, he envisioned transforming the area into a prestigious coastal retreat-an Embleton “Riviera.” The two grand villas north of Sea Lane were intended as the first of many elegant residences, forming a sweeping crescent of distinguished homes that would extend around the bay and golf course to Dunstan Steads.

The famous artist J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851) is believed to have visited Embleton Bay in Northumberland and painted Dunstanburgh Castle, which overlooks the bay.

Turner was fascinated by dramatic coastal landscapes and ruins, and Dunstanburgh Castle, with its striking silhouette against the sea, was a perfect subject for his work. His painting “Dunstanburgh Castle, Northumberland – Twilight after Sunset” (1798) is one of his well-known depictions of the castle, capturing the atmospheric light and rugged beauty of the Northumberland coastline.

While there isn't specific evidence linking Turner directly to The Lookout in Embleton, it's thought that he sketched or observed the scene from this vantage point, as he often explored the coastline on his travels. His love for Northumberland's dramatic landscapes is well-documented, and Embleton Bay would have provided the perfect inspiration for his work.
