"Crichton Castle" is an etching by John Clerk of Eldin, a Scottish lawyer and amateur artist, depicting the ruined castle in the Scottish Borders. The print shows the castle on a hilltop, surrounded by trees. The scene is rendered in a simple, yet detailed manner, with a focus on the castle's architecture and the surrounding landscape. The print was likely intended for a private collection or for the enjoyment of fellow artists and connoisseurs of the picturesque.
