I think this is the same location as photo 1876 of ploughing. North Perthshire with Ben Vrackie the pyramidal peak in the distance and the rounded hills of Beinn a' Ghlo to the left (east)
The body of water I imagine is Loch Bhac or one of the other Allean lochans. Comment left on 03 October 2025 at 19:33 by John Burrow
