St Fillan’s is a village at the eastern end of Loch Earn; it is not clear that Turner travelled as far as this, since it would have involved a long detour off his route from Crieff to Stirling and there is no conclusive evidence for it in the sketchbooks. See also Tate D03409 and D03423 (Turner Bequest LVIII 30, 44).
