The Figure stamped on the cover is from the painting known as “The
Regent Moray,” at Langton, formerly at Taymouth. It is one of the
oldest pictures in Scotland showing the Highland dress.
The Vignette on the title-page is from a painting in Armadale Castle,
dated about 1750. It represents Sir James Macdonald of Sleat and his
brother Alexander, afterwards first Lord Macdonald of the Isles.
