Levenford House (detail): windows
Image: © Lairich Rig Taken: 9 Sep 2006
The NNW-facing windows on the ground floor of Image incorporate some stained glass; as mentioned in the Canmore report on this building (see the end-note), these images are based on pictures by John Slezer, as collected in his "Theatrum Scotiae" (of 1693 and 1729). Even in the present photograph, the familiar double-humped shape of Dumbarton Rock can be recognized in the middle panel; specifically, it is a copy of Slezer's "Their Majesties' Castle of Dumbarton from the West". The left panel shows Stirling Castle ("The Prospect of her Majesty's Castle of Sterling"), while the one on the right is a view of Edinburgh Castle ("The Southside of the Castle of Edinburgh"). The houses that are indistinctly visible through these windows are at the north-eastern end of Image
