EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stunning beauty of Ben Lomond and Inveruglas Isle in Scotland, dating back to around 1870. The image showcases the ruins of a castle on Inveruglas Isle, once inhabited by the chiefs of Clan MacFarlane. Sadly, this historic stronghold was destroyed during the 17th century by Oliver Cromwell's Roundhead troops. The photograph is taken from "Picturesque Europe - The British Isles, Vol. II" a book published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin in London during that era. It offers a glimpse into the rich history and breathtaking landscapes found within Britain's shores. In this picture, we see an isolated island surrounded by Loch Lomond's tranquil waters. The cloud-dotted sky adds an ethereal touch to the scene while highlighting the majestic mountain range that serves as a backdrop for this picturesque setting. A lone figure stands near the ruins of the castle on Inveruglas Isle, emphasizing its desolate nature and historical significance. This person represents both our connection to history and our curiosity about these ancient fortifications. Through this print from Heritage Images' collection curated by The Print Collector/Heritage Images, we are transported back in time to witness not only Scotland's natural beauty but also its tumultuous past. It reminds us of how even centuries-old structures can hold stories waiting to be discovered and shared with generations to come.
