Highland Cattle with a Ben Alder backdrop
Original oil painting on panel 24" x 30"(61cm
x 76cm).
Painted in April-May 1999.
SOLD
These cattle are on one of the moors that provided lush summer feeding
.
Cattle would have been driven either to Dalwhinnie or towards what is
now
Rannoch Station to join one of the main drove routes which converged on
Crieff
and, later Falkirk. Droving dates from early times but the hey-day of
the large droves
began in 1766 in response to English traders coming to Scotland to
satisfy market needs
south of the border. The last large tryst was in 1880 and the decline
continued
until ceasing altogether in the early 1900's.
