Breadalbanes astuteness, however, prevented the disclosure of any evidence against him in the inquiry afterwards instituted in 1695, beyond the deposition of a person who professed to have been sent on Breadalbanes behalf to obtain a declaration of his innocence from MacIans sons, who had escaped.

However, if we look at maps of the area made prior to 1840, these show, not very far to the west, the Allt a' Mheinn: the 'burn of the mine or ore'.

 The Observer | Review | A tasteful Turner. Surely some mistake
One of his paintings in the Tate flattens the face from an Auerbach, sets it in an eighteenth-century lunette and colours it in the palette of Landseer's 'Monarch of the Glen'.
Retitled 'The Marquess of Breadalbane', after the man who commissioned the Landseer, the picture becomes a multi-layered game, a portrait of a portrait, via other artists and centuries.
The creepy thing about these paintings is that you're never quite sure whether Brown likes the originals or is suffering from the anxiety of influence and wants to cancel them out.
