KINGUSSIE PENCIL SET

Set of 12 colouring pencils in a printed wooden box made from FSC timber, featuring a watercolour view inscribed 'From the little rock, about 500 feet above Kingussie, looking westward. Evening, 1877'.  This scene was painted by John Francis Campbell of Islay (1821 to 1885). 

In 1859, folklorist John Francis Campbell of Islay began to collect Scottish Gaelic folktales which at that time were almost unknown beyond the Highlands. He worked with a team of helpers who travelled across the western Highlands and Islands of Scotland meeting with storytellers and gathering folktales.

The illustrations are taken from the manuscript diaries kept by Campbell and the watercolours he painted. 
The John Francis Campbell archive is held in the National Library of Scotland’s collections. 

Made from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood.
