Hunt made many trips to Scotland and Skye, but in 1932 and again in 1933 he visited Skye and made sketches of Blaven and Loch Slapin. (Sketchbooks 34 & 42). Blaven, or Bla Bheinn (thought to mean 'Blue mountain') is a Monro on the edge of the Cuilins, and rises to 3,048 feet. This work was painted from the shores of Loch Slapin by the village of Torrin, looking West.
