Catalogue entry

The sketch at the top of the page, inscribed ‘E Tarbet’, shows a view of East Loch Tarbert and Kintyre from a hill to the north of the town. From this vantage point we look down on the town at the right of the page, with the ruins of Tarbert Castle on a hillside to the left. To the left of that East Loch Tarbert opens up into Loch Fyne. (For further sketches of East Tarbert, see folio 88 verso; D26610).
The mountainous landscape drawn at the bottom of the page with the sketchbook inverted has not been identified.
