About this postcard

A painterly view looking down a narrow, boulder-strewn glen where a white stream tumbles between rocky banks, framed by autumn-tinted trees and a hazy mountain slope beyond. The card's own caption names the spot "MacGregor Leaf Glen," a scenic viewpoint of the kind popularized by Scottish and British landscape postcards of the early 1900s. The soft, stippled coloring is characteristic of chromolithographic view cards of the period.

MAC GREGOR LEAF GLEN --- TUCK'S POST CARD CARTE POSTALE POSTKARTE By Appointment. (FOR ADDRESS ONLY.) Glen Lyon is a picturesque piece of typical Scottish scenery through which the River Lyon finds its way into the River Tay shortly after it leaves Loch Tay. Macgregor's Leap is a romantic and beautiful section of the glen, which derives its name from the belief that a member of the clan reached safety and saved his life by leaping the river and thus escaping his enemies.
