View is from the old Drove Road over Laggan Hill. This is the first view that Drovers would have had of their destination when taking cattle to the tryst at Crieff from the highlands and islands. From the late 17th until the coming of railways in the mid 19th century droving was the method whereby cattle were taken to the markets in the south of Scotland and England. Crieff and Falkirk were the main droving centres.
