Poster, London Midland & Scottish Railway and London & North Eastern Railway, Loch Awe by Norman Wilkinson, about 1930. Coloured lithograph depicting a pleasure steamer on Loch Awe with mountains in the background. Text beneath reads "What tales of the Clans lovely Loch Awe could tell! Set in the heart of the Campbell and MacGregor country in Argyllshire, it is one of the most beautiful and romantic lochs in Scotland, as well as being among the largest. To the North Ben Cruachan frowns on the deep Pass of Brander, where the Awe flows out to Loch Etive: and the ruins of Kilchurn Castle conjure up memories of Highland deeds and traditions. The waters of Loch Awe abound in salmon and trout. Pleasure steamers run from end to end of it in connection with tours from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Oban, etc." Reference ERO 53351.
