Keep: In 1938 the lack of coverage given to women in the volumes of Who's Who gave rise to the establishment of the biographical publication 'The Lady's Who's Who' by the Pallas Publishing Company. Mackinnon was regarded as notable enough to command a place in this reference work. This publication has been used as a source for this article.

Another recognised determiner of notability in the UK was to have an obituary in The Times and Mackinnon's obituary appeared on 10 January 1970, at a time when perhaps the role of women was becoming more appreciated. This obituary has been used as a source for this article.

The National Portrait Gallery in London has a portrait of her in the National Photographic Record that was established in 1917 and made a point of photographing every British Notability through into the 1960s. In 1930 she was deemed notable enough to be invited in for a portrait session for this purpose. The portrait in the article is from this session and there is an external link to her NPG page.
