(don't forget this was the pre-Glaxo, pre-oil basin, post-fishing Montrose of the 1920s and 1930s. The old road bridge across the River South Esk that's depicted in both was actually demolished in 1926, to make way for the concrete bridge which was demolished in 2005). So that's a giveaway that it's an imaginary view. It's taken from near the old Craig primary school in the hills above Ferryden- when you go and look for yourself Montrose is much wider and much less concentrated.

Not been on here in a while, loving those Bairds, I'd vaguely heard of him but wasn't really aware of the desirability of his paintings nowadays, sad that he completed so few works and died at such a young age.
Strange seeing pictures of Montrose when Rossie Island was indeed an island.
