Can anyone help ID this image for me. It looks like it’s from an Osprey publication - possibly one covering the Scottish events of the mid 17th C - but if so I haven’t been able to work out which book.
I believe it depicts Lord Lewis Gordon and his master burner in 1646

Reverse image search only brings up a single Twitter post. Which is odd in its own way

It's definitely Angus McBride's work. Don't know about which Osprey, though.
He did a lot of work for Look and Learn magazine back in the 70s. Maybe it's from that?

Interesting; thanks chaps for your efforts and thoughts.
I’m flummoxed o_o

It's from Highland Clansmen 1689-1746 by Stuart Reid and Angus McBride

No wonder I wasn’t able to find it. I understood it to be centred on Lewis Gordon, 3rd Marquess of Huntly (c. 1626–1653) and was guessing it portrayed the sacking of Aberdeen in 1644. It didn’t occur to me that it’d be in a book covering from 1689.
Thanks very much :)

The book has a slightly wider time scale than the title suggests.
It's a good one.

I agree, it’s a great book, but with a wider date range than the title suggests, as has been mentioned. There is also a colour plate covering Auldearn in 1645!

Thanks both, I see I shall have to get a copy :)
