Note: It was supposedly on this beach that Milne met his second wife Elsie in the early 1940s. According to Milne's relatives, Elsie was walking along the beach with her sister when she saw a dapper looking gentleman wearing tweed and smoking a pipe walking towards them. They stopped to greet each other and introduce themselves as was customary. On parting, Elsie turned to her sister and said 'I am going to marry that man'. In 1946 Milne and Elsie's married. From their white-washed house on the top of the hill at High Corrie they had a view down to Sannox Bay. It was one of Milne's favourite views which he painted from various different spots on the hillside and sometimes lower down the hill.
