Another post as a follow up to Philip MacLeod Coupe's identification of painting sites for Cadell and Peploe on Iona, (see passim). This comparison is not in Coupe.
The watercolour was once with the Bourne Fine Arts. The view shows the small island of Eilean Annraidh the foreground and in the distance the cliffs of Gribun on the right and the small islands in Loch na Keal.The difference between the landscape in the photo and the landscape in the painting (apart from the weather)is that the machair has extended-rather than as sometimes happens diminished since Cadell's time.Cadell's viewpoint seems to have been somewhere approximately on Ard Annraidh.
