The Trosachs and Loch Katrine: The Boat House, Loch Katrine, 1890 (reduced in size)
Although originals of these Victorian coloured views around Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Clyde are difficult to find, you can now get them on a cd-rom prepared from original items held in a private collection.
The cd-rom isn't mass produced but is compiled individually and personally for each purchaser so there are very few copies in existence. You can get one of them here.
These 60 chromo-lithograph views, published in 1890, show the Scottish mountains and lakes as they looked at the end of the Victorian era.
A few sample images, greatly reduced in size, are set out below, followed by a complete list of all the views.
The Trosachs and Loch Katrine: The Trosachs Hotel, 1890 (reduced in size)
Loch Lomond: Loch Lomond from the Road to Stronachlacher, 1890 (reduced in size)
The West Highlands: Loch Earn and St. Fillans, 1890 (reduced in size)
The West Highlands: Oban, 1890 (reduced in size)
