Birket Foster is most associated with genre and rural scenes of Surrey, but he also had a particular interest in Scottish landscape, showing Scottish watercolours at the The Royal Society of Painters in Watercolours in almost every year of his thirty-nine years as an exhibitor there.

When visiting Scotland, he stayed at a specially converted cottage at Pittlochry, near the Grampian mountains, where he worked on watercolours commissioned from him by dealers, most notably Arthur Tooth & Sons, London. Dalmally is located in Argyll and Bute, very near Loch Awe in the south west Highlands.
