Historical Context
Alfred Mylne (1863–1923) was a Scottish naval architect and yacht designer of considerable repute. His practice, based in Glasgow, produced designs for a substantial number of sailing yachts and motor vessels during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The year 1901, in which Scoter was built, falls within Mylne's period of active practice. During this era, yacht design in Britain was undergoing transition, with designers increasingly balancing traditional sailing characteristics against emerging mechanical propulsion technologies. Mylne's surviving archive contains numerous designs from this formative period.
