Footnote
Note: In 1929 MacTaggart held his first one man show at Aitken Dott. In the exhibition there was one painting entitled 'Blue Sea, Machrihanish' and it is not fanciful to suggest that our painting is one and the same. A comparison with 'The Logie' exhibited at the MacTaggart retrospective and known to date from 1929 would tend to confirm the dating.
