Black and White Sunday: A View fit for a Queen

queens-view-in-bw

The Queen’s View in Highland Perthshire overlooks Loch Tummel. Queen Victoria is said to have remarked that the spectacular view was named after her, when she visited the area in 1866. However, it has also been suggested that the view was in fact named after King Robert the Bruce’s wife, Isabella, over 550 years earlier. Although she never actually became queen as she died in 1296 ten years before Bruce was crowned king. She was just 19 years old.

Whichever version you prefer, the view is stunning.

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

  2. I’m going to be miserable and say that I like it better in colour. 🙂 I saw it on a walking programme on TV recently and thought I wouldn’t mind being there. Gilly’s shot is a stunner, isn’t it, but as you say, you have to be there to take the photo.
