Joseph Mallord William Turner

David Wallace-Hadrill and Janet Carolan have identified this sketch as ‘a road in the Trossachs near Loch Ard, with the westward peak of Ben Lomond in the background.’1 Perhaps the most likely vantage point would be Duke’s Pass (the road between Loch Ard and Aberfoyle), which rises above Loch Ard and provides a view toward Ben Lomond at various points, such as this one.
