Album of sketches in watercolour and in pencil and wash, made during a tour in Scotland from July to September 1823.

 Item
Identifier: MS.10989

Scope and Contents

The sketches have not been mounted in chronological sequence, and appear to have come from two sources. The wash drawings are probably from a sketchbook, and the watercolours have been cut from a journal of the tour. The artist, who was English, travelled from Loch Lomond and the Trossachs to Inveraray, Staffa, Glencoe, Killin, and back to Loch Lomond. Inserted at the end are sketches of Edinburgh and Carlisle, a drawing, 1820, of Killarney and other unrelated material.
