Glencoe, Cape Wrath and the great cathedrals of Elgin and Glasgow appear in these prints from Scotland Illustrated, with views drawn by Thomas Allom, William Henry Bartlett and Horatio McCulloch. George Virtue published the work in London, with text by William Beattie, in issues here dated between 1838 and 1845. The plates move from the northern coast through Highland valleys to the gentler Lowlands. Cartland Crags Bridge shows engineering in a dramatic Lanarkshire setting, while Cadzow Park offers an established estate landscape in contrast to the mountain and sea views.
