The image is an engraving of a scene overlooking the city of Edinburgh from Craigleith. The viewpoint is from a lower perspective, close to trees and stones on the left. Edinburgh Castle is visible on a rocky hill, surrounded by hills and buildings. The engraving is detailed with fine lines for texture. The color palette is monochromatic with varying shades of brown. In the foreground, two figures are walking with sheep and a dog, leading to a cityscape with vegetation, buildings, and hills under a cloudy sky.
