This image is a finely detailed engraving of Castle Gordon, located in Morayshire, Scotland. The central focus is a grand, stately mansion with multiple stories, symmetrical wings, and a square tower rising above the main building, likely a representation of Gordon Castle as it appeared in the 18th or 19th century. The scene is set in a tranquil and expansive parkland. Large, mature trees frame the view on both sides, emphasizing the grandeur and isolation of the estate. In the foreground, a hunting party is depicted in traditional Highland attire, complete with kilts and rifles. Several hunting dogs accompany them, and two mounted figures are engaged in conversation. The overall atmosphere evokes the aristocratic leisure and stately elegance of the Scottish nobility during this period. The engraving is attributed to R. Sands (engraver) and Allen (possibly the original artist), and was published in London by Geo Virtue, known for his 19th-century topographical and architectural engravings. The text beneath the image identifies the scene as “Castle Gordon (Morayshire).” This piece serves both as a work of art and a historical document, reflecting the romanticized view of Scottish estates in the Victorian era.
