About MeThis painting, completed a decade earlier than the other work by Mackie on display here, shows Aberdeen harbour busy with repairs to steam trawlers. Mackie captures the bustle of a busy fishing and shipbuilding harbour in the years before oil was discovered in the North Sea. This painting was purchased from the artist in 1996.
