Footnote
Note: Maurice Millar, John Maclauchlan Milne's biographer, has explained that the artist's second wife, Elizabeth 'Elsie' Livingstone Mackellar, is known to have authenticated some of her husband's unsigned work. The artist visited the Hebridean island of Iona in 1937, 1938 and 1939, before he moved from Dundee to Arran. This work depicts Cathedral Rock at the north end of Iona, a location also favoured by the Scottish Colourist S. J. Peploe.
We are grateful to Maurice Millar, author of 'The Missing Colourist: The Search for John Maclauchlan Milne RSA' for his help in researching this work.
