Wilson's photographs of Scotland were intended to appeal to tourists as visual souvenirs that could be purchased in book shops and Railway Stations and included the picturesque areas of Scotland that featured on the popular tourist trails. This photograph is a later carbon copy of the original albumen photograph. Carbon was a process that was less susceptible to fading, unlike an albumen print that is prone to discolouration over time.
