More about this scene

In the distance are the ruins of a once great mansion, Scotsborough, dating back to the 14th century. It passed through a variety of hands and was last occupied in 1824, when it was converted to tenements. An epidemic of smallpox broke out amongst the inhabitants, and the survivors then fled the house. Despite their decay, the ruins still display some fine architectural details.
