Cave artist’s daughter returns THIS month, for the first time in 32 years, Miss Dorothy McKinnon saw the Davaar Island cave painting of the Crucifixion executed by her father, artist Archibald McKinnon, almost 80 years ago.
For Miss McKinnon, it was a memorable and very moving return to the famous painting. She saw it last in 1934 when she accompanied her father on his special mission to carry out restoration work on the picture.
Among those who accompanied her on the short trip across the loch to Davaar were Provost Duncan McMillan and the Rev C Gillespie of the Christian Brethren, who was holidaying in the area.
