Historical Context
Alfred Mylne (1871–1955) established himself as one of Scotland's foremost yacht designers during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. His practice spanned several decades, producing designs for sailing yachts, motorboats, and working vessels. The period around 1923, when Gigha was built, corresponds to a phase of significant activity in British yacht design following the First World War. Mylne's archive, comprising hundreds of designs and thousands of drawings, documents the evolution of small-craft design and construction practices across this transformative era in maritime history.
