In 1952 Vaughan went on a drawing trip along the South East coast of Scotland and Northumberland. He visited Berwick, Longformacus and St. Abbs, among other places, and was very much taken by the rugged, unspoilt beauty of the Berwickshire landscape. The visit spawned various important oil paintings (River at Longformacus, 1952; Coast Above Berwick I & II, 1953; St Abbs, 1953 etc.)
It was Vaughan's habit, on such journeys, to fill sketchbooks with interesting pictorial motifs and visual information; these provided raw data for gouaches and oil paintings that he subsequently worked up, over the winter months, on his return to his Belsize Park studio in London. T
