Scope and Content cf PAs 61,128,129,130 12 card pages of a damaged and depleted album with maroon cloth covered hard back, the front and spine missing. One of the five Marshall Albums but containing more foreign views. Holiday photographs from many places, all untitled, probably mostly in Scotland and including various unidentified buildings. There are photographs of Fountainhall and Pinkieburn, including one of Pinkieburn under repair with a chiney threatening to fall. There are also good views of Eigg including a photograph of Donald McLeod with his dog Prince. Another picture shows Devon Lodge, Dollar, Mrs Lawrie's house. The rest of the album is devoted to India including extensive images of tea-planting in Assam with large photographs showing scenes at Pathalipam, in the Subansiri gorge area and on the Wirpari river. The titles are sometimes hard to decipher but they include "Padre Lambert sahib and the morning catch of fish"; "A fishing village on the Bramahpootra"; "My hut at Dupai 1900"; "Tarn asha Wallahs, dupai" (with muzzled bears, monkeys and a goat); "The Pathalipam bungalow" including interior views; "Stockade at Dirpai to defend against Shassie invasion"; "Native washing for gold"; "Mrs Nichols, wife of Judge, on tour" (in a perilous basket sedan chair); and "Elephant Rock, showing cliff and Subansiri Gorge". Many others show views in remote hill country. A few photographs have obviously been taken en route to India, for example Alexandria harbour with sailing ships and steamers, portraits of Arab women, and the ships "Huntsman" and "Rameses" after collision at Port Said. There is also a view from the Great Eastern Hotel, Calcutta, showing a city street and a building with a sign indicating that "James Monteith, saddlers, harness and boot-makers, have removed to 308 Chowrinchee Road during the rebuilding of these premises".
