The Engraving represents Loch Goil Head, a small village in Argyleshire, as it name imports, at the end of Loch Goil.

It is an exquisite vignette, of Alpine sublimity, and is rendered extremely interesting as the residence of Thomas Campbell, Esq. author of the "Pleasures of Hope," &c. and one of the most celebrated of British poets. His château , or retreat, is represented on the left of the Engraving, and its romantic position has probably inspired many of the soul stirring compositions of the illustrious resident.
