Other versions of this photograph have been titled 'looking towards Roderick Dhu's Watchtower'. Roderick Dhu was one of the three main protagonists in Sir Walter Scott's poem The Lady of the Lake who tried to win the affections of Ellen Douglas. Scott immortalised Loch Katrine and the Trossachs in the Scottish Highlands by setting the poem in the area.
