He collaborated with the engineer and photographer Robert Adamson to pioneer many aspects of photography in Scotland.

He was dissatisfied with the 'Institution' and established a separate Scottish Academy in 1829, along with Henry Cockburn. Over time, Hill took a turn towards photography and his collaboration with Adamson grew whereby Adamson's studio, "Rock House", on Calton Hill in Edinburgh became the centre of their photographic experiments. They photographed local scenes and persons and were prominent in developing "action" photographs. Both Adamson and Hill died due to ill health at early ages.

The town is shown from the south-east, with the tower of Holy Trinity on the left, St Rule's Tower and the ruins of St. Andrews Cathedral, with the coast on the right.

Tinted lithograph heightened in white, sheet 630 x 450mm. Tatty extremities.
Fingal's Cave is a sea cave on the uninhabited island of Staffa, in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Staffa has impressed us since 1772 when Sir Joseph Banks, an eminent naturalist of the time, “discovered” Staffa - he described its marvels in The Scots Magazine, an important news publication in Scotland at that time. The geology of Staffa, particularly Fingal’s Cave with its cathedral like pillars, encouraged Sir Walter Scott, Queen Victoria, Boswell and Dr Johnson, to name a few, to visit and enthuse. Mendelssohn brought the attention of music lovers everywhere to Staffa when he completed his famous overture in 1831. From a collection of views, inscribed '24' upper right.

View of Abbey Craig, on the Clyde near Stirling in Scotland. A ‘craig’ or ‘crag’, is a rocky hill or mountain which is usually isolated from other high ground. This craig is famous in Scottish history because it was from here that in 1297 William Wallace watched the English forces crossing the Forth at Stirling Bridge. Wallace later led his troops to victory in the Battle of Stirling Bridge. This picture was drawn in 1816 before a monument to commemorate Wallace was erected at the peak of Abbey Craig.

A distant view of the former ancient burgh Stirling, from the "Views in Scotland" series. Although it cannot be proved it is believed that 'I.
