There are two versions of this painting at Kinloch Castle, one located in the Games Room and one in the Library. The identical landscapes depict Kinloch Castle at the head of Loch Scresort, the only sea loch on Rum.

Construction of Kinloch Castle commenced in the summer of 1897 and was completed in early 1901. On a raised beach, facing east to the mainland, the castle was built as a hunting lodge for 30 year-old George Bullough. Brought up in an engineering environment and with innovative gadgets appearing on the market, Bullough incorporated central heating in addition to coal fires, air conditioning, double glazing, a telephone system and DC electric power from a hydro generator with battery back-up. The castle also had four bath shower cabinets, three still exist, each with seven different settings.
