Catalogue entry

This is based on a drawing in the 1801 Tummel Bridge sketchbook (Tate D03282–D03283; Turner Bequest LVII 3a–4). Colonel Lawless who is commemorated in the tablet let into the rock at the left was presumably a casualty of the 1745 Jacobite uprising under Prince Charles Stuart, ‘the Young Pretender’, who was defeated by English troops under the Duke of Cumberland at Culloden in the following year.
