John Mcghie: Painter of Fife’s Coastal Soul John Mcghie (1867 – 1952) remains a largely unsung figure in Scottish art history, yet his evocative depictions of the Fife coastline and its maritime traditions hold a unique place within the broader landscape of Victorian and Edwardian painting. Born in Cupar Muir, Angus, Mcghie’s artistic journey began modestly but blossomed into a prolific career dedicated to capturing the essence of his surroundings – specifically the rugged beauty of St Andrew's Bay and the bustling harbor life of Craigsmuir.
