Artist, Scottish, 1865 - 1945

This print shows a landscape from an elevated perspective. A path leads into the distance where a tower-like structure is visible on the horizon. Some people appear to be walking along the path in the distance. Trees frame the right side, with smaller vegetation and ridges leading towards the path. Another cluster of trees can be seen in the distance on the left. In the sky, cloud formations and flocks of birds can be seen. There is a small line of text at the bottom of the print on the left, and a signature below the print on the right.
