Title
Firth of Forth and Edinburgh from Aberdour, Fifeshire
Description
View of a castle nestled amongst many trees, near to a town consisting of numerous houses and cottages. A three-arched, stone road bridge crosses a river which leads towards the settlement. A small church sits on the corner of the road. Behind the castle sits a great span of water, which separates the town from Edinburgh. Arthur's seat is clearly visible to the left of Edinburgh castle.
