About MeJames McBey was born at Foveran, approximately ten miles north of Aberdeen. In 1931 he married Marguerite Loeb whom he met during his second visit to America (she was from Philadelphia). He introduced his wife to Morocco in 1932 and they bought a house near Tangier, later buying a second property in Marrakesh. Although McBey felt at home in North Africa, he made regular visits to Scotland. In 1936, he and his young wife returned to Scotland for a visit. McBey painted this work from sketches made during his visit to his native village.There are no works to discover for this record.
