Photograph of John MacDonald (d. 1860) seated underneath a tree on the Balmoral estate with his left leg on a dead stag that had been shot by Prince Albert earlier that day in Corrie Buie. MacDonald wears a kilt, tweed jacket and a cap and has a rifle balanced across his lap.
This photograph was taken by the partnership of George Washington Wilson and John Hay who were commissioned to photograph the keepers and Jagers who accompanied the Prince Consort during the hunting of deer on the Balmoral estate. In addition to these portraits, photographs were made of the game that was shot by the Prince. This photograph also was reproduced as a woodcut in Leaves from the Journal of Our Life in the HighlandsProvenance
