Catalogue entry

This view of Fort William is from the north-east with the foothills of Ben Nevis in the distance; though most of the mountain appears to be obscured by cloud. At the right of the sketch is part of Loch Linnhe. For further information of Turner’s visit to the town see folio 8 verso (D26760).
