McCulloch was Scotland's most celebrated Victorian landscape painter. He contributed to the popular image of the Highlands as much as Landseer and had a great influence on the Scottish School of Landscape painting of his time. He visited Castle Campbell, then a picturesque ruin at the top of Dollar Glen, in 1838 and again in 1853, when he also painted a larger painting from the same viewpoint but showing much more of the woods below the castle. This painting, which is identical to it, though less detailed than, the upper half of the larger work (in a private collection), may well be a preliminary study. It is signed but not dated.
