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.

Yes, absolutely stunning and a great perspective and depth in the photo. Thank you, Jude.
Phew! Glad you think so. I like the clouds in your version. Mine were less defined so I went for a high key effect.
That’s a view! Sometimes, you just have to go North, to get the best ones…
Best wishes, Pete. x
Or up a BIG hill 🙂
Ah, those were the days!
I’m not surprised Victoria claimed the view, it’s gorgeous.
A beautiful photo, especially in black and white. It gives it greater drama.
Thanks Gerard, glad you like it.
You’re right, Jude, it’s a stunning view!
Probably why Victoria claimed it 🙂
just a lovely shot…the kind of place you want to build a house and write with a view of your own. I vote for Robert the Bruce’s lady
I do too! Victoria has quite enough named after her!
yeah…I hear that!
Yes, it’s really rather splendid Jude!
I agree with Gilly – splendid!
Indeed. This view is stunning in black and white.
Funny, how inaccurate some stories (history) are. 🙂 😛 😀
I guess the way history is depicted depends entirely on who wrote it!
Ha ha. Good point.
