Description:
Depicts Loch Awe and Kilchurn Castle (Argyl and Bute, Scotland). In Sir Walter Scott's The Highland Widow (1827), the narrator Mrs. Bethune Baliol meets Elspat MacTavish, the widow of the title, while on a Highland tour. On the morning before their meeting, Mrs Baliol's party takes a boat-trip across Loch Awe, and their guide tells 'a hundred legends of the stern chiefs of Loch Awe, Duncan with the thrum bonnet, and the other lords of the now mouldering towers of Kilchurn'. The Castle, seat of the Lairds of Glenurquhay, was built around 1440. The original painting by Horatio McCulloch was made in 1844. The original steel engraving was made for the Abbotsford Edition of the Waverley Novels (1842-1847).
