John McGhie was a painter and etcher of coastal scenes, figures and portraits, also occasional watercolors.

John McGhie studied Glasgow School of Art, RA Schools and in Paris at the Academie Julien, and enjoyed sea-scapes, coastal and harbour scenes, especially those on the East coast of Scotland near Pittenweem where he had a studio and spent most summers.

John McGhie was fascinated by the local fisher-folks as they waited by the shore for their men-folk to return, often with fish baskets on their shoulder or arms.
