George Washington Wilson (1823-93)
Upper Fall on the Garr-vault, Braemar c.1859
-
Photograph of a single man standing on a wooden bridge that spans the Garbh-Allt Falls. Underneath the bridge, runs a waterfall with rocks on either side of the bank and a pool at the bottom. Trees and foliage on either side of the river.
The figure on the bridge could be that of George Walker who accompanied Wilson during his 1859 and 1860 photographic tours to Braemar and the Western Isles. Walker observed that during Wilson's photographing the Falls of the Garrawalt in 1859, 'several parties of visitors' would 'drive up, walk round the bridge, look at the photographers, instead of the view, enter the fog house [where they could refresh themselves] and exit.' -
