					<description><![CDATA[Glen Nevis, Scotland]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Highland coos in Glen Nevis, Fort William, Scotland.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_cattle" data-type="link" data-id="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Nevis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wikipedia</a>:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Highland (Scottish Gaelic: Bò Ghàidhealach) (Scots: The Hieland) is a Scottish breed of rustic cattle. It originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Western Islands of Scotland and has long horns and a long shaggy coat. It is a hardy breed, able to withstand the intemperate conditions in the region. The first herd-book dates from 1885; two types – a smaller island type, usually black, and a larger mainland type, usually dun – were registered as a single breed. It is reared primarily for beef, and has been exported to several other countries.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Nevis" data-type="link" data-id="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Nevis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wikipedia</a>:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Glen Nevis (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Nibheis) is a glen in Lochaber, Highland, Scotland, with Fort William at its foot. It is bordered to the south by the Mamore range, and to the north by the highest mountains in the British Isles: Ben Nevis, Càrn Mor Dearg, Aonach Mòr, and Aonach Beag. It is home to one of the three highest waterfalls in Scotland, Steall Falls, where the Allt Coire a&#8217;Mhail joins the Water of Nevis in the glen. Below the waterfall is a steeply walled and impressive gorge. The scenic beauty of the glen has led to its inclusion in the Ben Nevis and Glen Coe National Scenic Area, one of 40 such areas in Scotland. Several films have been shot in Glen Nevis, including some scenes from the Harry Potter movies, Highlander, Highlander III: The Sorcerer, Braveheart and Rob Roy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A public road runs for 10 km up the Glen, becoming single track after 7 km. There is a hotel, Scottish Youth Hostels Association hostel, and campsite at the bottom of the glen, near Fort William, and a small hamlet further up at Achriabhach.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From the car park at the end of the Glen Nevis road, a path continues through a gorge. After a scramble up this rocky path, the view opens up and the path leads into the peaceful upper glen. A wire bridge crosses to the base of the waterfall. Rebuilt by the famous engineer Tom Russell while a member of the Junior Royal Engineers (Dover) JLRRE 82 Fld Sqn MacPhee troop. This bridge was closed for three months in 2010 when one of the cables snapped.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Print projects were an important source of income for Turner. Hornby Castle is an example of a watercolour he made to be engraved. It illustrated a History of Richmondshire within a proposed larger series of Yorkshire views. Here, Turner&#8217;s interpretation of the northern landscape focuses on rural life. A cow is being milked in the foreground, a family walk past a man on a donkey, and a cart passes a rural dwelling. The backdrop is made up of scenic hills. The castle itself is almost part of the background, though quite centrally placed within the overall composition.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Gourlay Steell (1819-94)]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The painting shows a herd of Highland cattle in the Pass of Levy which is about three miles north of Callender on the road to Lochearnhead in Scotland. The painting is stated to record a scene which had attracted Queen Victoria when she had driven through the Pass with Prince Albert. On a later occasion when she went through the Pass she noted that she had seen ‘endless droves of wild-looking, and for the most part extremely small, shaggy Highland cattle with their drovers and dogs – most wild and picturesque’. There is a preliminary sketch for the two calves in the foreground (RCIN 404116). Signed and dated: Gourlay Steell. RSA 1876.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Provenance: Painted for Queen Victoria.</p>
