Description: | A group of cattle inhabit the foreground of a typical Scottish landscape of lochs and mountains. In the nineteenth century there was an increased interest in Scottish history and customs. Queen Victoria spent each summer with her family at Balmoral, in the Highlands. The novels of Sir Walter Scott also popularised the heroes and romantic tales of the country. It was also a safe distance from the time when Scottish invasion was a serious threat to the English monarchy.
A farmer and his dog lead a group of sheep and cattle away from a Scottish loch. In the background the mountains fade into the cloudy sky. |
