A view of the snowclad Ben Ledi, Stirlingshire, painted early in 1914. An etching of this subject, taken from a nearly identical viewpoint, is reproduced in Arthur M. Hind's The Etchings of D. Y. Cameron, 1924, pl.73, and is dated by Frank Rinder to 1911 (R.424, II). Cameron moved to Kippen, Stirlingshire, in 1898 and this remained his home for the rest of his career. His house, Dun Eaglais, commanded a view of Ben Ledi and the Grampians.
