Creator:
Campbell, John, Earl of Breadalbane (b.1662, d.1752)
Creator Role:
Landowner

1720
Description:
This fine large coloured manuscript is not signed but the date 1720 has been added in darker ink in a different handwriting. It shows the mansion and policies of Taymouth Castle on Loch Tay, Perthshire. A series of tree-lined vistas focus on the house. The policies are typical of the estates of 18th century improving landowners such as the Earl of Breadalbane. A group of small buildings on the promontory into Loch Tay can be identified as Kenmore. There is a finely drawn sketch of a boat in the Loch. There is also a small elevation drawing of a mansion surrounded by trees.
