Description: | View of what is thought to be Doune Castle by Hugh William Williams (1773-1829). Doune castle takes its name from ‘dun’, meaning fortified town. The L shaped tower house was built in the 14th century by Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany. It was strategically situated by the River Teith and protected a route from Edinburgh to the north. Hugh William Williams, sometimes known as ‘Grecian Williams’, was the orphaned son of a sea captain, who studied art in Edinburgh under D. Allen. He toured the British Isles drawing and painting and became a talented landscape artist known for his paintings of the Scottish Highlands. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Jee & Edinton | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Williams, Hugh William | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
