Subject notes
The farmer is using a tractor to cut the crop. The crop will then have to be gathered into stooks or haystacks for drying and storage. The process would be more mechanised today. The Great Glen was created by a geological fault. The canal links the three inland lochs which lie in the glen to the sealochs at either end. The Ben Nevis massif rises steeply in the distance, to the east (left) of Glen Nevis.
