Original steel engraving of Craigend Castle, in Stirlingshire, Scotland, a Gothic Revival mansion of battlemented towers set in its garden, with figures on the entrance drive. Engraved by Henry Adlard from a drawing by John Preston Neale.
From J. P. Neale's Views of the Seats of Noblemen and Gentlemen in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The castle, built in 1812, was demolished in 1971, so the engraving records a building that no longer exists.
