Painted while staying at Dunrobin Castle, the estate of the Duke of Sutherland, Churchill chose to set his easel behind a tree where he likely thought of it as a framing device, adding a layer of depth, creating a stronger sense of foreground, middle ground, and background, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the picture.

In a letter to his wife Clementine, Churchill wrote, “… Many tender thoughts, my darling one of you and yr sweet kittens. Alas I keep on feeling the hurt of the Duckadilly [Marigold’s pet name].” That Churchill chose to stay with the Duke and Duchess at Dunrobin just after Marigold’s death speaks to their close friendship and his fondness for the area, including Loch Choire.

Churchill pintó el cuadro durante su estancia en el castillo de Dunrobin, propiedad del duque de Sutherland, y decidió colocar su caballete detrás de un árbol, donde probablemente pensó que serviría de marco, añadiendo una capa de profundidad y creando una mayor sensación de primer plano, plano medio y fondo, realzando la tridimensionalidad del cuadro. Churchill pintó tanto en Dunrobin como en la finca del duque en Sutton Place, que más tarde sería la casa de John Paul Getty.

Como describe Mary Soames en su libro Winston Churchill, His Life as a Painter, "1921 había sido un año de duras noticias personales" para Churchill y su familia, ya que había perdido a su madre, Jennie Cornwallis-West, y a su querida hija, Marigold, de casi cuatro años. En una carta a su esposa Clementine, Churchill escribió: "... Muchos pensamientos tiernos, querida mía, sobre ti y tus dulces gatitos. Ay, sigo sintiendo el dolor del Duckadilly [nombre de la mascota de Marigold]". El hecho de que Churchill decidiera quedarse con el duque y la duquesa en Dunrobin justo después de la muerte de Marigold habla de su estrecha amistad y de su cariño por la zona, incluido Loch Choire. No es de extrañar que Churchill regalara el cuadro al duque de Sutherland.
