SW view of Loch Tay Priory, Perthshire

Primary artist: Hutton, George Henry · d. 1827Copyist: Grose, Francis · 1731-1791

Grose's drawing was based on an earlier drawing lent to him by its creator, Captain George Henry Hutton of the Royal Regiment of Artillery and a keen amateur antiquarian.

An extensive collection of Captain George Henry Hutton’s original drawings, notebooks and correspondence is in the NLS. It includes a detailed pencil study of this exact viewpoint (Hutton drawings on line digital database ref (233)112a) dated 1789 which though unsigned is “likely to be by Hutton.” Hutton is one of those who lent drawings to Grose for his "The Antiquities of Scotland" (1791).
