Description: | Black and white print of the grave of Sir Walter Scott in Dryburgh Abbey. Dryburgh Abbey shown as a romantic and overgrown ruin, a man in a kilt with his dog are visiting the grave.
"Romantic image of kilted figure with a dog visiting Scotts grave in the decaying Abbey. Wholly in keeping with Scott's romanticised conception of Scotland's past. Engraver is probably William Miller (1796-1882) accomplished Edinburgh engraver who illustrated numerous volumes of Scott. A founder member of the RSA in 1826 Miller withdrew after the first meeting. Bell may be John Anderson Bell (1809-65) a Glasgow born architect and watercolourist."
