David Wallace-Hadrill and Janet Carolan have suggested that this rough sketch or sketches of depict cliffs trees (and perhaps a waterfall at the right) may depict a view in the Trossachs.1 One possibility is Ledard Burn, which runs down the southern slope of Ben Venue to Loch Ard near Kinlochard, and is depicted on the reverse of this page: folio 2 verso (D26673; CCLXXII 4).
