Title
Loch Leven head, Argyleshire
Description
A herd of cattle are driven along a highland road by three men and two dogs. One man stands with a walking stick, one rides a horse, while the third takes a rest on the side of the road. A waterfall gushes into the gorge next to the road, while a large stretch of water can be seen in the valley in the distance. The road runs towards the back of the image, where is crosses over a stone bridge. The landscape is craggy and dotted wtih trees and shrubs.
