Boats in harbour - sketch

Artist: Gillies, William George, Sir, CBE RA RSA PPRSW · 1898-1973

A slight sketch which with its preponderance of yachts and small pleasure craft suggests the village of Kippford in Dumfries and Galloway or Mallaig in the Highlands as the possible location.

The handling of the drawing suggests an earlier date and therefore favours Mallaig.
