    May 1915 (label fragment verso). In original exhibition frame.

    Note: Inchcolm is known as the 'Iona of the East'. Despite it's small size, this island in the Firth of Forth has been a significant place in Scottish history and lore.

It was repeatedly raided by the English during the Wars of Scottish Independence and even has a mention in Shakespeare's Macbeth.
