| Description | The drawing is dated 1788 but is unsigned by the artist. This is one of two drawings from Elcho in the Hutton Collection, the other being a view of Elcho Castle. The remains of the nunnery at Elcho stand near Elcho Castle, on the south bank of the Tay about three miles south-east of Perth. Apparently founded by David Lindsay of Glenesk, this was the only Cistercian nunnery in Scotland north of the Forth. It burnt in 1548. |
