The basic photograph is OK, if not interesting for a novel about historical war. The top and bottom segments add nothing that makes me interested; what for instance is that pentagon containing a microscope image of moldy cheese? Oh wait, that’s Scotland, given unclear colors and zoomed in so far we can’t immediately tell. I’m assuming that the top bar is a historical Scottish thing and that the empty white square and slightly different shades of red and the Latin are relevant. But the Latin is in a modern font (a different one from the 3 other fonts in use here) and the top bar is slightly off-center with blue/black on the left and bottom only.
What I’d do at minimum is stick to one font, remove the top section, and remove the pentagon. But really it’d be better to replace the photo too, either to show some kind of war map (dagger stabbed through Glasgow, or something) or something more personal like a soldier.
The only one that matters! Cinerama, Panavision, Metro-o-Scope? If they’re not Scottish, they’re crrraaap!

I’m taken by the modern-day road cutting that’s visible, on the right side of the image. Those dang ahead-of-their-times Jacobites!
